I always thought the dealer could order the custom scales, It looks like I messed something up again cry

Ill go reread the whole model #10 thread.
Update - I think I found it, if the rules have not changed. I actually remembered wrong, for some reason I thought that only a dealer could do this, anyone can do it

Exact dimensions are required for Model #10
3 inch blade----3/8 x 1 x 5----2 pieces per knife
5 & 7 inch------1/4 x 1 x 5----2 pieces per knife

And a couple from the internet, one of which they write is from the 40s

I really like the Model 8-4 with Whale Tooth and Scrim.
Where is it now, I wonder?

The 8-4 with the scrim work is in my collection. I bought it from James Gates. He had Rick Bowles put it on his website a few years back now. I dug up who had it made originally...a gentleman out of Petoskey, Michigan by the name of Tom Symons. He owned Symons General Store. He loved hunting and fishing around the world, especially Alaska, and made many trips up...he even floated the Yukon River for 2100 miles! He opened up a hunting and fishing shop in the early 70's, called Chandler's, so he used these trips to purchase a lot of cool stuff from the natives, including whale teeth and walrus tusks. The scrimshaw work was done by Harold L'Esperance.

Thank you for posting.
It is great to get the history.
I am a fan of Whale Tooth handled knives and scrimmed Whale Teeth.
Great combination.
