Picked up a triple pinned Red Imp on the bay that needed some love. Has some pitting still but I really did not want to sand on the blade any more than I had to. The scales sadly were broken on one sde so I decided to try something I have been really wanting to do after seeing Max use it a couple time, Jade Ghost G10. The scales are pretty much a direct copy of the factory scales, simple and clean. Still needs pinned(will be all nickle) and honed, I will add the finished pics hopefuly soon. I'm going to try to get it together tomorrow. Not looking to bad for not having access to my normal tools :D. I really need to start taking "before" pics.......
The only good scale left and the Imp after cleaning.

The pics dont due this G10 any justice, this stuff looks unreal!! I'll update this as soon as the "Ghost" Imp is all together. I've got the holes drilled in the scales and mocked the whole thing up. It all looks great.....or atleast I think so :p. Now back to the Shiner :beer2:.
