Thread: Quick Scale Thickness Question

Was just wondering if .124 is considered 1/8 inch thick and .062 considered a 1/16 inch?

Sorry I'm just a little confused by it, I'm used to dealing in fractions.

Oh, and this is the site I was thinking of ordering from, and its where i got the thickness measurements: G10 & Micarta - AKS™

Yes, you are right. .125=1/8 .0625-1/16

AKS = good folk

ok, and what is the right thickness.
Very confusing all those inch sizes.

The right thickness is the one that you think will look and feel the best while using your razor. It's going to boil down to personal preference.

With my vast collection of 2 straight razors, both of them have scales that are very close to 1/8" thick.

1"=25.4mm
there you have your conversion table
so 1/8" = 3.175 mm
