Finished up these two today ..
Brass lined wedge on the Ox horn scales & Bronze lined wedge on the Cocobolo scales..
Hours of peening took place

They should have nice bevels when honed...
Thanks..Happy Sunday.

Great work Joe

I must say the Ox horn is better than buffalo in feel, looks and sturdiness..There can be lamination issues ,it is more layered, for want of good english .
Honed up these on the ozuku the larger one was a dream to hone, i went one handed to enjoy the experience more..

Green & Black Ox Horn or Chocolate & Mint if you like

I had to go back to the beginning a few times due to lamination/pitting issues.. but i think is was worth the effort.. Unfortunately the photos don't show its true colours.

The ox horn appears to be a much finer grain than the buffalo. The finer grain is much easier to work and polish.
My old hands like big scales!!

They look great

Thanks.
Yes I'd say the grain is fine, hence the weight and glassy feel.
I had to to go for scales that are a bit beefy to complement this heafty Wade and Butcher :The king of all razors

The green in these scales has a golden metallic look.. I'm really impressed.. I had enough for one more set, they are being fitted to a stub tail but its all a bit touch n go until tomorrow's final fitting.. I'll show photos if it works out.. cheers
