Who's making scales?

[GeneH]

Hope to find nicely shaped (like not square) form fitting scales from these vendors. One I checked on their etsy site kept showing me pink scales when I tried to order green scales. Too busy for hobbies lately and doing things like shaping scales for a knife. I just want to go have fun getting lost in the woods somewhere.

The Sypderco scales look good but I get the impression they are thin.

Addendum: something like this, but smaller texturing IMO would look really good:

That's some good looking wood.

Thank you all.

I own some land with Honey Locust and think this would look great. I think I'll hand whittle a set for my first Mule.

"Blade Protector" is a forumite (FullScaler, I believe) who prints inexpensive scales:

I have a pair on a straight spine mule; they work well. They come ever so slightly oversize so you can sand them for a perfect fit, if you're into that level of detail. They also come with a hidden lanyard channel.

I’ve been trying to buy, but the cart is not working for me. I really like the translucent green ones.

Quoting myself, how déclassé!

Here are my FullScaler scales. I liked them so much on Bolster's Mule, I had to have my own set.

In that photo, your scales have that cool looking "antifreeze" color that I loved so much on Hot Wheels cars when I was a kid. To this day, I will buy pretty much anything if it comes in "antifreeze" color.

Here is my AEBL Mule that I made scales for last weekend. I used some yew wood that I had stabilized and I think it turned out great. Black G10 liners :)

Very nice, Gothicus!
