I'm gonna make a handle for a full tang bowie knife with an about 5.5 inches long handle. I need to get a pair of handle scales at about 6 inches in length to be sure to have enough material. I've looked around, but most places seem to have 5 inches as maximum length. I've found a few that have 5.5 inch scales and one or two which carried 6 inch ones, but none of those were interesting enough. Can anyone recommend a good dealer that carries longer scales? I'm mostly interested in dyed bone scales carved in a stag pattern. Stag ones would have been nice, but a bit too pricey.

Burlsource seems great. For this one I'm imagining some jigged/carved bone scales though. Do they sell bone at burlsource as well?
 
Slightly off-topic, but for those looking for larger pieces of G10, Alpha Knife Supply carries what they call "bowie blocks" and sheets as large as 8.5" x 11" in various thicknesses. They carry stabilized wood blocks, too; I'm not so sure about bone/stag etc. They're pretty good about updating their website, so just check 'em out and see.

You can call Culpeppers don't have the number right off but they carry jigged bone and stag but you will have to give them the dimensions. I purchase all my slipjoint scales from their large variety quick and reasonable.
