Jeff is not a big fan of natural pearl. It is pretty expensive material, with a high crack factor so it hurts if you have to scrap a broken handle. And the dust is poisonous to your lungs when grinding/buffing, so have to wear a respirator. He has tried the imitation pearl material but it just doesn't look as nice as the real thing. He did say he's open to doing 5-10 here or there, but really don't want to do a 50 piece order.

My latest aquisition. I always liked the greenbone on the Queen Robesons and I think this is just as nice and only five made.
