Any preference to the way scales are hafted to a knife? I don't like scales the have a sharp angle on the edge; and prefer a beveled or rounded edge. IMO just feels better in the hand to me.

Re: Knife scales ?
I agree Paul a soft edge is more comfortable and more pleasing to the eye!

Re: Knife scales ?
It all depends on what the knife is. Some are more comfortable and others just plane out look better

Re: Knife scales ?
To me, sharp edges (besides being uncomfortable in the hand) make a knife look "unfinished". It says, to me, the knife maker was too lazy or too cheap to expend the extra effort of putting a radius along the edges.
