Question about scale stock
I am brand new to this restoration phase but unfortunatly for my wife I do not know how to leave well enough alone and I jumped in. I have spent many hours on the blade and have it ready to put back into scales. The razor was an ebay $2.00 practice piece. The scales were broken when I got it so I just took them off. My problem is this I have gone to knifekits.com and texasknifemaker.com the scales on this razor were 5 1/2 inches long but the only scale stock I can find comes in a max length of 5 inches. I wanted to use water buffalo horn since I have worked horn before. Any ideas where to get longer scales or how to go about getting the shorter stock to fit. I have searched the forum and could not find anything to help with this. Thanks for the help
