PSA: Do not buy knife scales made out of PLA, people are selling these and even calling it “premium” and “durable”. PLA is not a plastic for long term use or durability. Don’t be fooled. PLA is the lowest quality plastic a 3D printer can print. This is 10 cents of plastic being sold for over $20

If you are going to buy 3D printed knife scales make sure they are printed out of better plastic like PETG, PCTG, ASA, ABS or PA (Nylon).

PLA will warp in hot temps, has basically no chemical resistance, and is incredibly prone to cracking and denting. It's only good for prototyping, not for long term use.

And while we're at it: PLA IS NOT BIODEGRADABLE. Do not believe anyone who says it is biodegradable or compostable. It can only be composted in specific industrial composting facilities.
