FOUND! WTB: Sambar Stag Scales(or rolls)

[TacoTime]

Update: Found a few sets so I am good! Thanks to those who chimed in suggestions/offers. Much appreciated!

I'm looking for one or two sets of nice looking sambar knife scales. Minimum length would be 4" and width would be 1 1/4". I'm not opposed to nice rolls instead if any are available.

I don't mind paying a premium for these considering how hard they are to come by nowadays. Also willing to trade rare Westinghouse Micarta, FWI, Musk Ox, etc.

Pic below is meant to serve as an example of the sort of scales I'm trying to find.

Thanks folks!

Give Culpepper & Co (knifehandles dot com) a call. They have lots of stag.

Culpepper doesn't have anything bigger than 4x1, which wouldn't be too bad, but they aren't terribly exciting pieces. Culpepper's is great source if you're looking for 3x1 or less, not so much when it comes to anything larger.

I appreciate the suggestion, though!

I’ll take a pic of what I have and dm ya this evening…if I don’t forget

Mine are around 3/16 thick. 1.2” wide by around 3.5” long. As close to book matched as possible. Sorry thought they were over 4”

Thanks a lot, Nate. 3.5'' is a little shorter than I'd like, though I may still be interested. If you want to PM me some pics later on that'd be great. Either way, I appreciate you lookin' out!

I have some red stag out in the shop as well. I may have a round that is large enough for what you need. I'll go measure after work (around 4:30 or 5 today)and send you a pic if it's large enough.

Give Culpepper a call. They often can find something you don't see on the site.

I have this huge round of Red Stag.
Length - just over 5"
Width - just over 1.5" x 2.0"
Large enough for what you need I think.

Let me know if you have interest, otherwise I'll put it for sale on the knifemakers material forum.
Here's some pics.

Thanks for sharing those pictures and for the offer! I'm only really interested in Sambar Stag at this time, though.

I appreciate though, Ronnie!

Yeah, I suppose you don't know unless you ask, huh? I'll give them a ring and see what they say!

Here's the other piece of this length that is sanded and polished up on a fire poker I made for my outdoor fire pit.

No worries. Good luck in your search.
