Thanked: 4823By far my fav is bone. I do have a little stash of MOP and some silver sheets that I am patiently waiting to make a set of scales with. I have done a few MOP repairs but never a full set of scales.
G-10 is terrible stuff as far as dust and toxins are concerned, but it does make really nice liners. I think it is better as a liner than a scale material.
Horn was my go to for a long time. I still like it, and I think it is wonderful to work with and beautiful.
For the most part I am not a big fan of the acrylics and polycarbonates. I do have a set of wood and acrylic slabs that are destined to be something special. I have not found exactly the right razor.
There are certain materials that I feel are better suited for some blades than others. An old Sheffield looks really off in a set of loud coloured plastic scales. That is sort of where picking the right material for the right blade comes in. That is all about personal taste though.It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
