THESE SCALES ARE NOT GROVED YOU WILL NEED TO ROUTER OR CARVE OUT THE SLOT FOR THE BLADE
We have very nice basic hardwood scales that are bigger and thicker than the average knife scale you’ll find online—because we want to give you, the knife maker, more wood to play with and more creative options for your designs. Sizes may vary, but the general size is about 2" x 6", with each half roughly 1/2" thick, so you get a sturdy, generous chunk to shape however you like. We recommend using epoxy and at least two clamps (I personally like four small clamps to keep everything snug) and always dry-fit your blades first—leave just a little room around the blade for a quality glue-up. Once the epoxy is fully cured (follow the cure time on your glue bottle), you’re ready to draw out your handle shape and either cut on a bandsaw or start your sanding adventure.
