Drack.
That's a beautiful kris, congrats.

Kino,
Are you going to restore that pommel?

There are plenty of fake scrimshaw teeth out there; maybe you can source a blank one with a little googling; then all you would need is the artisan.
Look for arvorin plus on ebay.

Great tip; looks pretty close to the real thing.

Another possibilty would be to look for an antique billards ball to purchase the real deal.

3d printing, using a nice original as the master?

Two more great ideas.

I could be mistaken, but i believe that Spunjer did a restoration on an old ivory pommel like this some years back. Maybe he will show up to talk about it.
