cut your own from scraps. i get some pieces slightly larger than the finished handle and make a pattern. then i make a cutout of plastic of the tang slot or if i'm restoring a handle i'll use a piece of old handle for a pattern. i cut the tang holes first and when i have enough cut i'll coat both sides with contact cement and stick them all together. once they are all attached then i sand the handle to shape. i dont soak my leather in water and compress them all like most makers do.
