Members Vikefan Posted June 26, 2011 Members Report Posted June 26, 2011 Does anyone know of a tool maker who makes a Fish Scale stamp - I'd like to see a picture if you have one (example). Vikefan Quote
Members DCKNIVES Posted June 26, 2011 Members Report Posted June 26, 2011 I have never seen one specifically for fish scales,but you can do a reasonable job using "mulesfoot" stamps.They make several shapes some tapered and some more round.I have one made up for snakeskin scales that my mentor made me that is similar, or you could make your own.Dave this is how it looks Quote http://dcknivesandle...lademakers.com/
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted June 26, 2011 Members Report Posted June 26, 2011 Use small tubing, and cut the tip in half. This will give you a variety of sizes for round scales. Once cut they could be collapsed some to make oval ones. Quote You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
Members St8LineGunsmith Posted October 15, 2012 Members Report Posted October 15, 2012 camo stamps can be used for scales and dorsal fins with the larger camo stamps as mentioned mules foot stamps work for fish scales but are much better used as reptile/snake and dragon scales.

King's X Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 I use a Mulesfoot like DC, but I have also used a Veiner to make scales. Quote Greetings from Central Texas! The Grain Side Up blog #TheGrainSideUp
raysouth Posted January 5, 2013 Report Posted January 5, 2013 Never seen fish scale stamps but do use pyrography pens from Colwood and others, designed as different size fish scales. I believe that Gregdorrance.com has a good selection of these tools on his web. God Bess. Ray Quote
Members Tina Posted January 6, 2013 Members Report Posted January 6, 2013 Never seen one as fish scale but...Bob Beard makes a dragon scale tool in around 5-6 different sizes, should be the "same difference"? I've seen them been demonstrated live on a leather show and IF I remeber correct they're made to lift up the end. Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.
