I wouldn't think it easier or cheaper than just buying the color plexiglas I want and using it.

Hello, I have some African Bloodwood, extremely hard, not fire engine but probably the brighest red of any wood, throw some good oil on it and it really snaps.
Not sure yet how to post pic.

If you want acrylic (sorry I haven't read the whole thread) try a signmaker they will almost certainly have a bin full of acrylic off cuts.
Red Imp scales are often available .:thinking: Or you could find a nice complete specimen and send me the unwanted blade !

I did a restore of a Frederick Reynolds in bloodwood. I don't think it would suit your needs.

I found this but I doubt it is what you are looking for:
Linen - Red Linen 3/16" - MICARTA(tm), Phenolic - Handle Material
I can't think of anything else except the Red Imp scales Wirm mentioned! I know someone on here with some Red Imp scales that have a junk blade! You could always turn them inside out to get rid of the Red Imp etching. He offered them to me because I have a better blade than the one he has but the blade I have has hone wear but it isn't junk like his. I'll tell you who it is if you want. Besides, I have myself a nice Red Imp with very little wear so I'd be more than happy to share this member with you. I also looked at what Jamie showed here:
