    what's wrong with ivory? other than it's a bit harder to find, but sometimes there are junk blades with nice scales to be cannibalized...
    which reminds me that i have one project like this that i've got to get to...

    Other than canabalizing & the price, ivory is really nice to work with. Boone Trading Company is an interesting place to find legal ivory at prices that are better than I would have expected.

    Boone Trading Company - Ivory and Scrimshaw

    Hope this helps...

    Danke. I think I might put a new set of scales on it. They are just plastic and i should be able to make a new set that matches the old but looks nice.
