Scale needed

[niceguy2]

Any help here would be great, I can possibly make one from a larger model knife that matches

The handles in your link Billy are stag. Niceguy2 needs a picked bone handles. Not the same.

Okay ebay then.
Seller is globalwoods.

Rare knife that new jigged bone pattern probably won't match well.

I have jigged my own a few times but even if you get it to look good I never did worth a damn at matching color so always ended up doing both sides. This was never on a rare knife though. I'm sure niceguy wants it to look original.

Well, I tried.

What did you use as a tool WhipperS. ? A rotary tool never looks correct when I’ve tried it

[niceguy2]

Well, I tried.

Thank you for your reply

I used small carbide burrs. Seems like I had the best luck with a small 1/8"shaft ball end burr. This was years ago before I had a Dremel so I used an air powered Dotco pencil grinder from my tool and die days.

Making the scales from a larger scale doesn't always work out like you would hope. Not to mention that you would have to find a pretty rare replacement.

Have you considered having one of the higher-up repair guys try to patch that missing section? You've seen what they can do.

Ya , i can do a conservator type restoration on it and make it look decent but would be my last choice. i have a little patience so..... maybe ill find a needle in the haystack !
