You'd probably find them cheapest from a red imp razor with a damaged/irreparable blade on the bay or hunting in the wild.
Just for your own information, red imp scales are notorious for warping badly (I had to straighten mine and it wasn't pretty). So from a functionality standpoint there would be better materials to get replacement scales IMHO.
I can second this. I just got finished straightening out the scales on a Case red imp. There was also some serious corrosion on the scales near the red imp logo. Sadly, I had to sand the whole thing down to bring the color back out, likely due to UV damage (razor was sitting in the window of an antiques store).Quote:

Shorten the wedge or rescale. 2 choices
Get a Morris Red Imp ;)
