Your thread about your Swisschamp got me started on the idea to get some micarta in the first place

I am not a fan of titanium or most other metal scales. They are cold compared to micarta or wood, heavy and expensive. I won't pay more than 4 times for scales, than i paid for the SAK.
I have not worked with micarta yet. I have done my own wooden scales with good success, just never with the scale tools cutout. Never liked how it came out. They are important to have though, so i guess i am stuck with buying some.
