Apparently the Monarch scales cracked in some point. Well have to make new ones. Maybe from clear acrylic :)

Some nice scales are made from split bamboo interior cuts and bleached that look like faux ivory.

I would love to try different woods for scales. Only bad thing is that special woods cost like hell here in Finland. And the selection isn't that big if I don't travel to Helsinki.
Yea bone and antler are easy to come by. I will get antler later when I get proper gear to make scales. Now making most of the work by hand.
What comes to the acrylic scales, I have to see how they turn out. I also have some dye for the acrylic so might also dye them. Have been sick now so haven't got any work done on the razors.
Here we go. Finally got the new scales for Monarch done. Here is the result.
I wanted to get some patina look on them so I painted them and after that showed some sanding love.
