Its Dymondwood scales. I love the stuff! Its inexpensive ($5.00 per set of scales) and they have such a wide variety of colors. I have never sold a knife yet so I have a hard time spending 30 plus dollars on scales. My family and friends have talked me into try to sell a few of my knives this year so I guess I'll see what happens. I usually just give them away as gifts to friends and family. No idea even where to start on pricing one. :les:
