Ivory trafficking surpasses drugs in Africa: experts | World Breaking News | News.com.au

Since I am living here in Thailand would it be so wrong to try to source a little of this slightly illegal ivory for making scales? If I did they would be for my own personal collection and never be sold. Should I ask around to see if anyone here can help me get a little of this stuff?
Or do you consider that any razor with scales of pre-ban ivory must be old and special where as if you could make current ivory scales would it be like a cheap knock off?
What are your thoughts?
