By the way... Sal thinks that old, cracked, horn, ivory etc. handles can be restored to almost pristene conditions similar to the repair of the Randall model-1 ebony handle I posted on Sheldon's site (I specifically asked him NOT to restore that handle to original look, just mend the cracks etc... didn't want to have an aspect of that knife be anomolous to the rest of the components).

He does this type thing when repairing old classical insturments. Something to keep in mind when considering condition of old, damaged handles. Hummmmm some good things can come from cross-referencing fields of interest. Looking for something from the tribal oriental rug world I can apply to Randalls.

Regards...
