The original pic Jeff sent me :idea:

Size: 8/8+
Grind: Hmmmmmm I am thinking 1/4 Hollow
Blade: 2.80 inches (I believe this was repaired in the past)
Finish: Near Mirror (look deeply into her eyes Guys)
Scales: Black Buffalo Horn, .120 thickness, polished using 3M 400-8000 grit paper then buffed, almost the same design as original with perhaps a slightly more flared look to the wedge end
Wedge: Recon Malachite
Pins: Brass
Washers: Triple Beehive Stacked - Brass and SS, Internal Bearing Washers - Brass
Honing: Chosera 1k - BBW - Select Grade Coticule (using Alex's smashed slurry technique)

Yeppers still balances right to the tang just like it did originally with factory scales

Thanks for looking

As usual Glen another super restore, great looking blade, I'm liking horn more and more as my favourite scale material especially that feathered horn that big 8/8 Friodur was superb.
