    I made the scales for this 5/8 J. A. Henckels blade for a member of the SRP Yahoo group. The scales are made from Purpleheart wood which has been scorched to make the color a deep dark purple. The finish on the scales is sanded and polished CA (super glue). The wedge, pins and domed collars are made from brass.
