Think this is going to be my first attempt to make scales also. Going to use wood, even though it will induce a gag reflex in BeBerlin.
No need for any sanding. Hit it up with some polish if you like. But to sand out the satin grind marks would take much more effort than it is worth. Removing stock grind marks from a razor is just about as difficult as removing pitting from a vintage blade. Removing pittuing is a neccesity, removing grinding finish is not (it would be cool though!)
