I have a Scrade USA 338T with white scales. Can't tell if they're delrin or maybe micarta. Can't find any information on this. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

That is a 33OT (for Old Timer) and absolutely not an 8 stamped on it.
Definitely Delrin, looks to be sun or chemically bleached.

Agreed. Rust has made it difficult to read the tang stamp, and the brown Delrin handles have faded to white.

A drop or two of 3 in 1 oil can help with delrin oxidation, but pretty much just in mild cases. Your scales are pretty far gone, but it couldn't hurt. Old Schrades also make for good rehandle candidates

Nothing to add except, sharpen it up, oil the joints and put it in your pocket. It will be a good EDC.
