I have a few Thiers-Issarrd Straights that have bone scales. I am curious what is the source of the bone. I am guessing it is bovine because of that type of bone's strength. Do any of you know where the bone comes from?

It would be cow, almost certainly. From the shin bones.
There have been threads if you hunt around, guys just bought beef bones from the butcher and cut slabs.

Camel bone is also quite popular...
Ever seen Sweeney Todd?
I would think cow for the most part. I have seen a source that has camel bone as well.
Harder to find at the local butcher, though.
Easier to find on eBay, and knife making suppliers though...
Google it.here is a supplier;

I am not trying to get bone for scales, I was just wondering where Thiers-Issard got their bone. Thanks
Not sure about TI, but WR Case say they get the bone for their knife scales from Brazil, and it is the shin bone of the Zebu cattle.
