    Knife handle Scales

    Hello, I have 2 pieces of ivory paper micarta slabs that I am wanting to sell. My grandfather had these for knife work, and he has since past on. Does anybody know who buys knife handle material? Thanks!

    I think you have some fairly serious legal problems to over come first.
    The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

    Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

    Do not be surprised if U.S. Fish & Wildlife does not pay you a visit in order for you to prove that those Ivory scales are PRE-BAN ivory and you have the documentation to show it before you can offer it for sale.

    The Ivory Paper Micarta makes better knife handles anyway.
