Need some new scale fitment ideas....

[Daniel Macina]

I experimented a little with the shadow box style yesterday, seems like it would end up as a pretty thin handle to look right. Keyhole or similar ideas are on the face of the scales, I was looking for new ideas on the edge or spine. Right now I'm experimenting with a copper and bone stack idea.

I got ya. Sorry I didn't read quite closely enough.

What about something like this? I think it would look cool with Damascus.

this is what I had in mind, and it seems like it would be pretty straight forward to do.

Great find Jon. The keyhole handle is a beutiful look but the skill level to make it with no gaps is right up there
