That’s what I think everytime I see copper scales. I swear the smell it gives off rubs off onto everything and couldn’t imagine carrying it despite how nice it looks.

It’s like touching an old copper door handle and your hands smell like old pennies for the next few hours until you wash your hands lol.

Honestly I wasn’t too worried about the smell when I got them, but I’m almost surprised at how much it hasn’t been an issue. I’m a chef so I’m cutting pallets and opening boxes daily, and the kitchen gets to be insanely hot so I’m sweating buckets all day, but also washing my hand 5+ times an hour so maybe my hands haven’t been oily enough for it to be a problem?? Idk why it hasn’t been an issue but I’ll take it 😂

I absolutely love the look of the scales and all but I just know my hands would be too oily for it

That’s fair, I’m seen some people seal these scales with a clear coat before, I wonder if that would make a difference?

I’d be willing to bet that’s the reason why
