Thread: Made my first set of scales

Made these the other day still a wip but just thought I could ask for any critiques

(Made from paper micarta with a g10 wedge)

Just mocked up with micro fasteners for now

That seems like a nice first effort, well done!!!

What are the two cuts on the top edge? Also is there a piece missing in the very front? Did you draw the shape or trace it from old scales? The most important thing is that the razor fits and centers in the scales. The more you make the better they will get. Good first try.

I like the effort too.
Thanks for sharing it.
