Horn Bug Bite fix

Here is my first attempt at a repair of the damaged scales which I believe were created from the bug that eats the horn scales.

Re: Couple more Americans repaired

Sorry Millern, I haven't looked at this post for a couple months. I use old springs, reform/size them then reheat treat them. I have a few different...

What does "BP" stand for on INOX tang stamp

So, picked up this little 7"
Pretty decent shape works well.
Does anyone know what the BP in the tang stamp "BP" over "Inox"? Manufacturer? Age? I figure its from the 1980's how close

I haven't been doing this long, just started working on old crappy condition knives until I got enough confidence to work on better ones. I screwed my share of parts up - it happens...
