Nice scales! Did you even out the spine, shoulder, and shank too? When I received mine that’s probably where it looked most off...it was noticeably not uniform in shape.

scales are oem, slightly wedged the spacer and repinned. This is the model with the overzealous spine arches, smileAlready had the thumbnotch. Stock photo below.

I really enjoy smiling edges, but this was off for me. The grind and edge profile leave a lot to be desired for me. probably should have sold this and moved on but i was bored and wanted to mod. I removed all the excess metal above the hone wear area, worked the shank a bit and kept a very gentle sweep on the edge.
