    Sorry lads got jipped camelboneknifehandles.com do have dyed bone in 6" & 7" options but the latest email confirming 7" is available he also decided to include that they have a 30 pairs minimum order for any size, a bit much at this stage unless I start an eBay site or something for the extra 25 pairs LOL

    How much did he want for 30 pairs? Was that all one color? Perhaps we could split it up amongst interested parties here...
    The easy road is rarely rewarding.

    I will bookmark that, thanks.
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    Sounds like the hunt is on. $6.50 a pair sounds very reasonable considering all the hard work I've been through with cutting, sanding, soaking in trannic and then dying several times to try to achieve a deep black. It's a painful process working with bone from a starting position!

    Perhaps there would be enough of us to split 30 pairs (probably only need 3 keen members).
