Quick Scale Thickness Question
Was just wondering if .124 is considered 1/8 inch thick and .062 considered a 1/16 inch?
Sorry I'm just a little confused by it, I'm used to dealing in fractions.
Oh, and this is the site I was thinking of ordering from, and its where i got the thickness measurements: G10 & Micarta - AKS™

The right thickness is the one that you think will look and feel the best while using your razor. It's going to boil down to personal preference.

With my vast collection of 2 straight razors, both of them have scales that are very close to 1/8" thick.
