Indian Rosewood scales
Blue fiber insert for stability and coolness
Purpleheart Wedge
Tung Oil finish hand rubbed
Pinned with brass rod and small washers
Centers dang near perfect
Took back to the finishing stones and strops prior to getting out the door
This was a beautiful blade if it were not for the pitting. As it sits the blade is a great shaver. When the pits are so large that you can actually polish the pits, that tells you how it started out. The indian rosewood had a great figurative knot in the meat of the handle, hence the use of the fiberboard. The color of the rosewood in conjunction with the blue fiber just pops.
George, hope you like.
