Ok, so more firsts here, I decided not to use the ivory scales, one because of the flaw in them, and secondly, black looks sexy! For the pivot, I had originally decided to use a 1/8" folder pivot, with screws. Upon looking at this a little closer, the screws looked BIG. So the problem I had was the 1/8" hole through the tang... To remedy this, I installed a bronze bushing, then drilled this to accept a 1/16" NS pin.
I used some blue turquoise, with pyrite webbing as a wedge, a little splash of color.
Now. Pins and peening. This is the first time I have ever done this. I purchased some washers and pinstock (this is why its taken as long as it did). So I decided no pain no gain, and used the pins/washers. I recessed a little counter sink to reduce the height the pin head would stick out.
The horn I used is actually on the translucent side. Kind of nice stuff, but a PITA to get flat, and even.
So all in all, this is the finished product. Still learning school of hard knocks. The pass around should begin next week. The razor is in customs at the moment.
Now the pics, let me know your thoughts!
