You guys know if Imperial used Ebony wood on these? It's a good looking knife.

Re: Ebony scales?
Is it wood for sure? Awfully smooth for wood on a knife that old, no nicks, marks, etc. Are you holding the knife or are they pics? Looks like composite in the pics. Hard to tell. ??? Mint condition?? J.O'.

Re: Ebony scales?
Really look like some kind of composite to me. JMO. Not sure IMPERIAL did a lot of ebony, or on a TL-29. J.O'.
Re: Ebony scales?
I believe that's black delrin or some other plastic depending on the year. definitely not ebony. Those covers were pre-molded to fit the knife, hence the rounded cover pin and clip on shell construction type bolsters.

Tom, a.k.a. KGIG-- I have the identical knife, somewhere in my collection .. it is most definitely derlin or hard plastic, seems to me it fealt more like plastic.. I'll see if I can dig it out.. quality knife, tho.. come to think of it, it might be a shell handled one.. not sure, can't remember for sure.. I'll find it..
