As some may remember, back at the beginning of December I scored a nice cord wrapped SHBA, it did not take long for a few of you to come up with the idea of sending it back to Busse for new scales. Mulder suggested hand shaped Canvas Tiger-Hide micarta with solid pins, I liked his suggestion, plus I'mGatMan! suggested satinizing it too!
Man is it sexy! To hold a SHBA in your hand is a treat and when it looks as good as it feels, it's just plain amazing.

Garth, Amy and Cathy were great to deal with I think I even talked to the big man, he said he was the janitor Thank you all, you made me a happy man!

On with the pictures! It's raining so you might spy a few raindrops on the blade.

Salvo she's a beauty, did busse reprofile the blade any? Man that knife is just so appealing to the eye, smooth bolt and satin finish. I'd hold on to that one.

 

[Soulrack223]

That's one hot make over!

 

[salvo]

Thanks, I'm not letting this one go!
d762nato, the blade did have the asymmetrical edge originally, now it is convexed.
BTW, Jerry did say the steel is A2.

 

[LMT66]

Drool!

 

[Bigfattyt]

Wow! That turned out great!
