Re: Northwoods Harrison Bay
Roland I looked at some kudu bone available from Jantz supply. It looks pretty sold to me so I'm not sure how they inject acrylic resin in it to make handles like yours and mine but I have decided that I don't like it and won't buy another kudu bone.

Looks like the used this very "porous" portion of the bone, filled with acrylic. Giving a kind of honey comb appearance.

Re: Northwoods Harrison Bay
Monk, the examples of kudu bone you found and posted all look different from each other. Some are easily ID'd as bone, but others like mine don't look like they have any bone in them.
The picture posted by doc B of the porous bone surface looks like it is the inner side of the bone surrounding the marrow in the center.
Given all this i still cannot understand why some of the "kudu bone" appears to be all acrylic.

I feel better reading this. I remember you and I talked about our feelings for the Kudu when we got our Bear Lakes. I like it okay but I won't be paying the exorbitant premium for it, again.gsmith7158 wrote:Roland I looked at some kudu bone available from Jantz supply.

Re: Northwoods Harrison Bay
I have had very good experiences with KSF. This kudu H.B. is the only time i have felt that KSF has put profit well ahead of giving the customer a fair deal. Posts show that there are other kudu bone owners who are also dissatisfied.
Do you think KSF is aware that a number of their customers are feeling a bit ripped off ?
KSF had my trust. Maybe i was foolish, too gullible, but now they no longer have my trust so the reason for being a loyal customer is gone.
Charging such a high price for what turns out to be a rather suspect material was a major mis-step by KSF.
I hope they read this because it is not too late yet to get back on track. But one more ho hum over priced Northwoods will kill the premium status, and alienate even more customers.
