You guys called it! I'm thinking about maybe getting some scales instead of buying another knife, but I'm not sure at ALL how they'll be priced. I know I've heard of the Wilkens scales going for like double the cost of the knife which I wouldn't consider. But is there a way I can get something made of cheaper (but still just as/more durable than the originals) material? I may sound like a moron, but would $30-ish or less be completely out of the question? I've never bought any custom scales nor have I looked into them before.
