I've had this blade for a few months and decided to do something about. These scales were made without power tools, just my coping saw and sand paper. The horn scales were very transparent when I started but aren't now so I don't know what happened. The wedge is bone. The blade and scales were both sanded to 2500 grit wet/dry and then buffed on a microfiber towel. Feedback/critiquing is appreciated, thanks.
