Thread: Altamont Grips/Bonded Ivory?

What is bonded ivory?
I was digging around in old threads on here and I found reference to altamontgrips.com. They seem to have nice stuff, and their prices are great.
Has anybody used anything from Altamont, and/or bonded ivory?

I bought a pair of their grips for my ppk/s. They look awsome on it. Sorry, can't help you on the bonded ivory, mine are laminated wood.

Wow! That looks great. Do they use like a CNC to do etching or something to that effect?

I'm assuming that it's cnc.

I would think so with the prices they charge, low. They've got some nice looking stuff on their gallery. I'm thinking (bonded) ivory inserts on an old style OEM grip for my GP100 would look pretty good.
So does anybody know much about this materiel?

Excalibur Bonded Ivory Grips

Bonded Ivory was developed as an economical genuine Ivory substitute. This epoxy, filled with natural materials, works and polishes, as well as looks like real Ivory. With age, it develops a yellowish patina which makes it indistinguishable from the more expensive and fragile real thing. Bonded Ivory is durable and tough for heavy use and long life.

Thanks, that's exactly what I needed!

That carving looks to be laser engraved.

as Drew quoted above its a plastic/epoxy with powdered bone/ivory mixed in, you can age them if you don't like to wait and like that older broke-in look with strong tea or coffee.

Thanks again.
Anyone else here used Altamont's grips?

Pink has a set on his ruger mkIII. They look awsome.

Thanks
