i do like the printed circuit look, however its not a look im going for with this razor, i shall definately look into the other 3 though, specifically hard leather. thanks for the input
hard leather would be cool as hell. granite seems like it might be too brittle at the appropriate weight. carbon fiber would make good scales (though I don't like the look). glass would be neat (and fragile).
but seriously, leather would be so cool

Check out dick.biz. They have a nice assortment of exotic materials that can be used to make scales. Me? I'd like some scales made from Reindeer horn.

some nice ideas. im still not sure if i should use a piece of wood that was half torn out of a near by tree by lightning after a storm, i need to get it from the shed and see what wood it actually is, it was a while ago that i got it, i took a few photos of the tree so it could make an interesting conversation piece.
Circuit board...! Id love to see some razors like that....
Leather would be very cool. I think carbon fiber would be neat also.
Pic's of the blade would help....

there ya go. it is, unfortunately, not mine.
I've seen those before
I do hope whoever does that work wears some sort of respiratory protection though. Old circuit board Dremel dust isn't exactly lung friendly...
i hate you.
lol...
Did you see the flat slabs of horn? both Ram and Buffalo, the bone plates...
I might have to try making some horn scales now.
Try beef jerky. Joking of course. In my dreams I have though about using jello just because it is soooooo clear like acrylic. Currently I am using some umbrella material that looks like snake skin. I tried it on a scrap piece of Spanish Cedar but the wood is too dark. I am going to try it on some maple or birch this weekend.
