Stop! You are confusing us! "Glen told me so!'

I rest my case.

I vote bone because of the thickness. Personally, I like the bone scales.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Personally, I prefer bone to any scale material. Nothing feels finer in the hand.

Well bone won't rot the blade and I think it more durable than ivory, less brittle, but ivory is classier. IMHO.
Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

take a loupe and see if there are holes, if so it's bone. Originally Posted by Jsperrick
