Thread: Boker Scales

Hoop, are you trying to find authentic scales or similar scales? Do you have the skills to make your own? I ask because there are a number of sources for scales material, namely woods, that would make good looking scales.

I "might" be able to do it but not willing to ruin a beautiful set of woods. Yes I would love to make it look "stock" and I have been trying to find ones that would work on FleBay as a mutual friend would call it with no success.
I did talk to Glenn a few weeks ago about some and he is going to get back to me on a new process he is working on for a special material that I have. MUAHAHAHAHA!!!

Since you are a Chef I guess the materials are Banana Skin Micarta. I'd rather see Pepperoni Micarta myself.

The scales I want to replace are broken. There are plenty of places to buy scales, but I really want authentic Boker. They are for a lovely King Cutter which shaves great. I've had a reply off Boker too now, but they must have misunderstood my enquiry because the link they sent me was for new DE blades! I've replied with more detail of what I'm after. Fingers crossed now!

I'm keeping an eye on eBay too.

Wayne I will keep my ear to the ground as well what color are you looking for the old school black or white? Please post a pic of the scale if you can so I can compare.

I'm after black scales, ideally with the silver tree inlay, although I'd be happy enough with the tree moulded into the scales. The scales that are broken are black without the logo, but are quite a rounded profile.

I have an open mind though, so I'd consider any style as long as they're original Boker. I've got my beady eye on a couple on eBay.

Hahahahaha nice you have been listening to Roy way to much. I was thinking more of Ahi skin if I could keep the cat off of them.
