Thanks for the welcome! I decided to make a set of scales for the Scrapivore last night. I took a few pics during the process.

The scales are not perfect, but they feel pretty good, and I can remove them without too much trouble if needed. I'll give it a few days before I decide if I like the knife more or less with handles.
