Hybrid Blue Pearl and Carbon Steel Knife by Stuart McC
One of the best uses we have seen of the Hybrid Blue Pearl Scales below, from Stuart McC.
These scales look good but are a bit tricky to use, with stabilised mango wood on the sides and an acrylic hybrid twirly centre.
Stuart has made a carbon steel blade with full tang construction, centering the handle scales on the pins.
This makes sure he gets the stabilised mango on each side, while the swirly centre still takes most of the attention.
Mosaic pin in the centre and 1/4" brass pins on either side complete the knife.
