--------------------------------------------------------------

Stabilized wood increases the strength and durability of the wood, increasing the water resistance, decreasing thermal expansion and contraction, and reducing the risk of grain tear outs. This makes our scales optimal handle supplies for any of your knifemaking needs, whether you are making full tang knives, frame tang knives, or partial tang knives.

DISCLAIMERS:

- Scales are generally flattened on a drum sander, with 120 grit finish on the photographed (spine facing) side. If you choose to use them backwards, you may have to touch up sand on the other side. The level of finish is reflected in the lower-than-market prices. Most scales will need minor flat sanding and lapping prior to use. Any blemishes will be noted. 

- Scales were lightly buffed with blue compound  for the purpose of the photos. The final color of the scales will depend on your finishing process. Buffing finished will be lighter. Oil finishes will be darker.  

- Photos have been edited to reflect actual color and figure to the best of my abilities, which I will admit are aggressively mediocre. 

- Highly burled woods may have small voids and checks. Any large checks will be noted in the listing with an appropriate price reduction. No scales will be listed with defects that cannot be easily patched with CA glue. 

- All scales have been stabilized by K&G unless otherwise noted.
