Cuscadi does make some really nice scales. Just REAL expensive for some of them. can be more expensive than the knife itself. I emailed about scales for the native 5. For the material i wanted it was over 100 bucks... For a couple small pieces of wood.... Yea i cant pay that. Id rather buy a band saw and cut them myself.
I cant think of the guys screen name now, but there is a guy on BF that pimps a lot of folders. Im just not sure if his prices are any better.
But you can get some glow powder, mix it with some glue and fill the holes yourself to make them glow. The glow doesnt last long though. Some trits in those spots would really be awesome.
Cuscadi came highly recommended to me also. I have a set of scales inbound from them for my ZT0350. It's true that they are a tad expensive, but you get what you pay for these days.
The ghost jade scales will be the problem most small time operations will have. It eats saw blades like crazy. Almost need a metal cutting bandsaw blade to cut it. I know, I have cut it on a scroll saw and went through 4 blades for the small scale I made.
G10 is impossible to cut with any saw, it eats saw teeth like crazy. Oddly enough, it sands like a really soft wood... Cuscadi are way overpriced and if you want cheaper try this guy:

^^^This. People can say he is overpriced. I wouldn't buy my scales anywhere else. Unless I wanted SAK scales then I would go MWDP.
