MATERIAL TO MATCH BLACK COMPOSITE SCALE ON KEEN KUTTER K10?

[archie]

I have an old Keen Kutter K10 knife with the scale and keystone type emblem intact on one side. The scale on the other is completely gone. What material should I use for the replacement scale to best match the old black composite?

Thanks for all the great information on knife restoration and repair!!!

is the material jigged or slick, shiny or dull? pics would help. I have some black composite that might match, it's a nylon tytpe of material similar to delrin.

It's a black shiny composite. I've attached a picture. Any guesses on the age of this Keen Kutter K10? Thanks for your interest.

I have some that should match that, I can send you a peice or I can install a replacement scale for you. I'm guessing probably schrade made.
