Good morning David,
Those knives are beautiful with the scales exactly as they are. Very rich and elegant shades. Yes, white needs to be included as a forth colour.

All the best,
Sam Hotton

I'm not sure if it's "natural" or bleached bone that I like the looks of; I built a knife with bone scales a while back, and in an A/B comparison with some ivory scale blanks, which I don't have the balls to use just yet (expensive), there was a striking similarity. The material I used was actually cut from a $3.00 doggy bone I bought at the groocery store; I've no idea of its lineage, except that it came from a cow of some type. It was good material to work with, though. I like the look of white bone, whatever its source.

The Speedhunters look pretty good to me too, natural materials are my favorite, in spite of the plastic and "reconstituted" stone I usually seem to use.
