Thread: Thin Bone Scales?

Recently got this razor and I was surprised at how thin the scales were. Especially since they were bone. Well I am assuming they are bone from the looks of them. All of the bone scales I have seen so far were fairly thick, but these were as thin as all the ivory scales I have seen. I put a dime near the pivot for comparison. On the other side the scales are actually alittle thinner yet. I was surprised at how sturdy they feel being that thin. The only bad thing though is the crack near the pivot on the thinnest side. I might try putting some liners on the scales to strengthen them some. Anyone ever seen bone this thin? Also would neatsfoot oil work to rejuvenate bone like horn these seem pretty dry.
