where do you find scales like that I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.....lol. The scales on my knife I found at a place called Exotic Burl Wood and they have a store on ebay. Another one, also on ebay, is called CA Hardwoods. I picked this set for a friend from Exotic Burl Wood also.

Arizona Ironwood is another place to get some really beautiful burl wood for knife scales.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

No doubt. Don't remember if it was you or another Campfire member that turned me onto them and when I was on an Amboyna Burl kick, they had some of the very best blocks I've ever seen any where. Very fair prices too.

Been a long wait and a lot of searching to find thick enough scales for it but here it is. Thanks Mike for the scales and Bret it looks exactly as I had hoped. This is Roy's "RF Hunter" pattern with 3/8" Westinghouse Micarta, red liners and tapered tang.

That Westinghouse RF Hunter is fantastic!
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Off the top of my head I think it is 7 OAL and I believe the blade is 2 3/4 inches.

It's a beauty and it comes with Bret's usual fit and finish.............perfection. Same can be said of the Parson's sheath too.
