    I can't believe you got any type of salvage out of that! Well done. Hope it's worth the effort!

    Default up date on the lizard

    Made the scales from green translucent acrylic. Used a picture of gssixguns lizard, since I didn't have any scales left to go by. Micro fasteners are just for mock up. It will get regular pins when I finish the scales. Not perfect but it will make a good shaver.

    It looks like there is some deep pitting near the heel. Have you sharpened it yet (and looked at the edge under a microscope)?

    Other than that your persistence might start a new fad (move over Ducks and Fillies).

    I would say you did as good as anyone could have, with what you were starting from. Good job! You made it look A LOT better.

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
