Second point I would like to make is, any custom set of scales has to be tested on a blade to make sure everything fits before installation.

Thank you for the great point of having the blade first so you can make scales with the blade in hand.

I have made more scale blanks on the side which i am now waiting to get more naked blades to fit them.

For the scales in the pictures for sure i had the blades fitted for them so each scale has a corresponding blade for it.



these are the blades.

It's just that i am enjoying making scales that i have not put time in shining up,polishing and honing them yet.

Soon,very soon.

Now my problem is getting to try to make with other material such as bone or horn.

But having a hard time to find material like that here in Canada.

Would anyone know where i can get them here for razor scales?

Thank you again for all the advice.
