A couple os my first attempts
The first is a 5/8 Wade&Butcher hollow ground. I did not remove ALL the pitting on one side as this would have removed the makers mark. The scales are South Queensland Wallnut with a wedge of Lapis Lasulai.

The second one is a Shell mark Hammer Forged from Solingen (marked with 3083 Made in Germany on the reverse side of the tang. The scales are (what I was told is ) blond mallee with a lapis lazulai wedge again.
