You are correct, Oz! Might be old stained ivory. Don't see the capillaries, do we? Looks like oil has permeated the top of the backside scale.....Perhaps a soak in some 3% peroxide and induce a tea patina after? (just thinking..)

Finished the Torrey tonight.

Pinned, scales polished, and honed.

Now the agonizing wait for tomorrow's shave test.

There was a discussion about this.. can't remember what thread.. but we determined they were bone. I would certainly not mind being mistaken. I soaked then in peroxide for about a week.. whitened them up some. Tea patina eh? Ill do a search.. sounds like something I'd like to try.

Remind me of camel bone

OK! Bone! You soaked out the end of the capillaries, so we could not see them.
Tea soak will bring them back in!
