Re: Doing scales on my own * update*
Well here are some finished product pics. I realize these are not perfect, however any advice is welcome! I didn't do any metal work as I wanted to keep the "well used look" to the knife. After finishing, I probably should have either made the scales match the well used look or polished up the metal.

Re: Doing scales on my own
It looks better than it did when it was new.
Don't forget to file the pins flush to the liners.

I did file them down once I was completed peening the outside. BTW used finish nails for pins, worked perfect!
Thanks, Robb
