Thread: Pre Made Scales

Today i finished re-scaling these three Ralf Aust razors into pre made T.I scales ...The T.I scales come fitted with spacers and wedge end pinning. 2x horn, 1x bone.

The T.I scales come with a thin spacer glued and pinned which could mean that attempts to remove the spacer could take part of the horn scale with it.
The spacer is so thin that the tang on a razor would have to be 1.5mm thick to fit. On top of that the Ralf Aust razors have no angled section on the tang which means it caches on the scales unless they have cut out parts like the original scales, or a 3 pin is an option.

The bone was the most difficult to fit because a wedge with correct angles would have broke the scales due to stress and using a large enough spacer would mean the heel protruding through the underside of the scales..

Also the grinds are very poor requiring mad skills to hone

I did have something positive to say but have forgotten now.
