Long scale of real bone, 4 mm thick.
The extra long and thick plate made of real water buffalo bone is suitable for a wide variety of work in the historical field, e.g. for handle scales or as an intermediate piece for knife making.
The bone plate has the dimensions ~ 160 x 25 x 4 mm and is ideal for making handle scales for knives and medieval combs.
For example, the handle scales for Viking combs are made of this material. Such bone plates are also very sought after in crossbow making.
The bone was thoroughly cleaned and treated with hydrogen peroxide for a clean white.
Bone was widely used in ancient times because it can be sawed, turned, carved and ground with very little effort. Bone is an extremely stable and elastic material, and even dyeing of bone is possible.
Thus, in ancient times and even in the Middle Ages bone was often used for needles, combs, spoons, knife handles, dice and much more.
