    Default JL's 8/8 workedback Henckels

    Here you go JL.

    Sorry about the crap pics, my camera leaves something to be desired. When you move them you get golden fleck highlights, but of course you can't see that...yet.

    btw The mark on the heel of the blade is not a mark so don't worry.

    John's razor turned up today, I'll start scale making this weekend for it.

    I think I just wet my pants! Now THAT is one beautiful meat chopper Gary!!!! How does the weight of that blade compare to the henckels from J. Crowley...it definitely looks like it has more mass too it....Those are some sexy scales!!!!!!

    Nice work Gary!

    For cleaning indents, I've used toothbrushes, q-tips and toothpicks. A needle might work well too.

    JL, I would just strop it an try. It looks like it's been honed, once for getting ready.

    JScott, The blade is NOS, I haven't touched it, it's never been shaved with.

    Bill, Thanks, I'm proud of these scales, I just wish you could see the golden flecks that jump out when it moves in the light.

    Cheers

    Gary
