Thread: Straight razor scales

I bought it from Jantz, as they were the only ones that had the larger sheet size. It wasn't cheap, but should get a couple of sets of scales out of it.

I emailed him and was really nice. Thanks for that. His shipping isn't to bad compared to some other American companies as well. I'd buy everything from the USA if it wasn't for the shipping. That's the real killer. Thanks again though, will order some in the next few weeks.

Or you can check the dumpsters at signmakers. Often a great source.

Thank you for that. Sorry for not getting back to you sooner but the family have all be sick and I lost track of everything. The razor is shaving smooth and I even managed to hone my first one up from what you taught me. Hope your well.

I worked over 40 years in retail grocery and Excellent customer service is the #1 priority followed by Quality Product and finally Reasonable Prices.

I've found all three at Woodturninz. Fritz has always made sure that my needs are met with a very minimal charge for cutting the large acrylic lace blanks to the 1/8" thickness.

I'm sure that you will continue to receive all three from Woodturningz in the future.

+1 to this. I would go to sign makers and offer them beer for their off cuts. Got tons of usable 3mm acrylic in various colours that way.

Have bought from Masecraft and EBay delivered to Qld
Gameco / artisan supplies has very limited scale material
Also check out outback timbers on Instagram, Ben does some very nice stabilised woods
There is another Aussie lad on FB in a woods and knife scales forum who does a heap of acrylic scale materials, mental blank on his name but will dig it up mate


Edit: Aussie kustom knife scales on face book is the lad,
he is out of Perth metro area and does some nice blanks
