Have been looking for bamboo knife scales without any luck for sometime now. Wanted to see if any one had a source or info on where to buy them. Thanks,
Scott
 
How much are you needing and how big of a knife are you going to use them on. I have a friend who deals with bamboo for a living, including bamboo flooring. I do not see why a person could not use that for scales too.
 
Iv'e done several knives using bamboo flooring for the handles. I like the dark colored stuff. The color on the stuff I have goes all the way thru the wood. Make sure you get the solid bamboo. Some are "engineered" which means they have a soft filler laminated in the middle. I acutally got some scraps from a flooring show room before I got a box of it at Costco. Sometimes you can find bamboo cutting boards which would also work for handles.

I used Watco Danish oil to finish them.

If you don't find any let me know and I will get my friend to mail some out here. Good luck.
