"Personal" with sheepshorn and aluminium bolsters. Need feedback !

[Jason Cutter]

Thanks to Jason Browne, a new knifemaker in South Australia, I got the chance to try some 7075 T3 aluminium alloy for various fittings. I took the gamble and did the bolsters on this one. It is definitely much lighter (about 50% the weight) compared to 416SS and the balance is very different in the hand. I knew the pins and blade would contrast against the aluminium but I deliberately worked the pins so they matched along a line to see if the effect worked. What do you guys think ? Does it work ... ? Thanks in advance. Jason.
