Anyone had the wood inlays replaced by them? I've been thinking about making a small Classic woody different/more unique with some exotic looking stone inlays. Anyone had this done? How durable is the stone as far as cracking/chipping? (I'll be passing through Sante Fe next week)

Hi Richard,
This knife does not lend itself well to our type of inlay. First, the knife
is bead blasted, which means we have to prefinish our work and then attach
to the knife.. We normally attach our handles and then grind the whole
knife.
So, with that in mind is would be several hundred dollars for dinosaur bone,
a little less for mammoth ivory.
It's a great knife and I understand you wanting to dress it up more, but
it's not really conducive to our style of work.
Thanks,
Bill Wirtel & family
