I'm looking for scale options for my Hawkbill Meadowlark. The titanium scales are great, but too thin for heavier work. Are the Stainless Steel scales much thicker (at least similar to FRN)? I can't find thickness measurements anywhere.

Hi, Kale!
First of all, thank you for a very good question, indeed. Lots of sources quite just the same measurements, but not handle thickness. But I found it.
It appears that visually stainless steel handle is thinner compared to FRN one.
Number-wise it's 0.8 cm (for comparison, FRN handle is 1.0 cm thick).
I hope this will help.
If you are making some project with Hawkbill SS, show it, please )))

My UpTern (only SS I have, made in China) is .74 cm. Might serve as a comparison point.
