I usually loathe anything but horn on an old sheffield unless they had the vulcanized scales, but that is some beautiful hardwood. It looks great, and whoever did the work made the right choice with the pin style.

Nice! Is that a CA finish? I've got some nicely figured walnut I'm going to make some scales with soon.
I would call it elegant! Those are at the top of my wish list.After giving it some thought. I came up with this. It isn't spectacular, but the simple and functional design makes it hard to beat IMHO. MK31 in ivory scales. View attachment 564448
