Customer photo review of Aurora | Cast Resin

I've gotten quite a few segmented scales from 285 Woodworks. I'm literally working on a set this weekend, on a skinning knife I built for a fella in NC. He gave the earlier one I built him to his dad, who loved it. It wore 285 Scales, as will this one I'm currently building him. This current review of a scale set is for a Damascus blade. Its beautifully done, segmentation color and artistic beauty are all there. Great job yet again! Thanks..RJ Durham Melbourne Fla,

Customer photo review of Copper Mesh | Spalted Tamarind

In my opinion some of the best knife scales on the market. My customers really like them. Won’t use anything else. Had a small issue with these scales and reached out to them and they offered a fix or a full refund. The fix worked perfectly. Great customer service and support!

Had the scales custom made (reach out on Instagram) and they're gorgeous. I don't typically leave reviews, but I'm very happy with how these turned out.

Put this on a blade I’m calling Phantom Pain. All proceeds go to amputee blade runners. Selling tickets at severedmetalworks.com if you know anyone feeling charitable and looking to win a knife for cheap!

Customer photo review of Curly Ambrosia Maple | Maple Burl

I have bought a number of different scales from you guys, they are beautiful. They finish well. They are straight, and recently I started doing removable handles so the Damascus can be retreated or re-etched…. so great job! Thank you and I’ll be back for more!!
