My fault of course, I used a template for a roundpoint 8/8 and this blade has an inverse squarepoint. The arc the blade makes at the leading edge is great than that of the roundpoint.
So I have a nice set of scales but have to make another set for this battleship sized monster.
No worries though. I have been playing with Corel Draw and will experiment scanning a pic of the blade in and then design the scales over and around it. If I can't get that to work I'll go back to Billy's blog and lay the blade down and work from that.
So it pays to get everything correct before putting hours of work into a set.
