Dumpster diving for scale material - Pics

[fast14riot]

So in my thread of praise for Tap Plastics, I mention salvaging scraps from their dumpster. This set of smoke acrylic is some of the salvaged material. I did buy several sheets of their scraps and cutoffs after I had started these and used some of the red for the wedge.

Specs:
5/8 blade
Dixie Mfg. Co.
Union City, GA
Smoke acrylic scales
1/16" copper pins hand hammered
Red acrylic wedge, glueless assembly
Brass tubing bushed pivot






I need to remove the frown from this blade and reset the bevels and then it is off to get honed.

Comments and critiques are encouraged.

Not going to use stones, I have some granite I use as surface blocks that I will put some high grit films on. I just have a difficult time finishing the edge. This one is kind of a practice blade for me, I have some nicer ones I will leave to the pro's until I get my GD's to really practice on.

Thanx everybody.
