Post by: ksbowman on August 03, 2011, 07:40:00 AM

Do you make your own replacement tip overlays or buy out? If you buy out where do you get them?

I've found some good materials from vendors who sell knife making supplies.  The handle materials are available in various hardwoods, to bone, to phenolic, micarta and some fiberglass.

I found some real nice linen micarta at a knife making seminar in Friendship, IN at the annual Muzzle Loading Championships.

Good Luck,

Bowdoc helped me out with some beauties! Other than that I have made my own from pieces of bone or exotic woods.
