I've got a few knives I want to customize and would love to use that style and color of material. What would be the best modern version of Case's (XX era) redbone and where can it be bought? Not looking for exact, just something that gets close to the aged color. (jigging pattern doesn't really matter) Over the years it's become my favorite of all jigged bone handles.
Thanks, WB

Checked out Culpepper's for the first time, nice selection, fair prices. I'll include the ruby red in my order. Kinda liked the looks of the mahogany, rootbeer and amber colors too.
Thanks for the lead, MM!
