I have a double flylock with beautiful full blades. Imitation tortoise handles that are decomposed. What choices do i have on rehandling it? Did they make any with mother of pearl?

On Bill DeShivs website it says that he works on flylock switchblades. I would contact him. billdeshivs.com. He's also a member here.

You should pull the scales off as soon as possible to prevent further damage. There are a few folks that make and replace scales. Good advice to contact Bill DeShives. Pearl would be dandy but pricey and a health hazard for the person making em. I would be interested to know if you find someone willing to make em. Good luck. Nice knife worth restoration.
