I'm interested in getting some. OK, perhaps not real ivory, but something that looks real.

IMO, one of the most beautiful combos is a sweet blue job offset with Ivory's.

I am fortunate enough to have a 13-3 that could benefit from the right set of grips. It's a 4" example with blue like they did back in the day and I can't shake the need for a set of Ivory's on it.

For me, the look of magnas is almost too much to take in when they're ivory, but magnum loads and magnas is an unknown for me at this time. I typically use Hogue wood grips as they fit me right.

I've seen target Ivory's on N frames, but I'm not sure they aren't too big for a K frame.

Altimont appears to have nice grips, but I know you folks have your favorites and I'm in no rush, so please post your advice and pictures to make your case. I know I'd love to see them and FWIW, I'm certain I'm not alone.

Post anything you've got, but specifically I'm interested in K frame advice.

Both these are faux ivory, cost $65s to $90s or so. The first is on a N frame 25-5 and the magna pair are from eagle grips on a N frame 24-3. I coulda-shoulda got the medelions on them. Yes they arent "Ks", but there really isnt that much difference to get a general idea. The last one on a colt python cost about $85s, they had various ones for smiths too but I cant find where I bought them, it was in washington state.

These are Altamont faux ivory. I love them.

Please excuse the picture quality. The grips are elephant ivory.

I have elephant ivory on order for a J-frame, and a set on a 1911, but went cheaper for the bigger revolvers. The Nutmeg peeps actually make a nice Ivory Polymer set made from ivory sawdust in their shop. I have a set for N-frame, but didn't like the profile and sent them back for a little alteration. Beautiful, however.

I got to show these real ivory grips. I have them on a old high standard HDM.

Here is my only set of (fake) ivory. They are on my model 48-4.

Here are some Alamont bonded ivory Magna style, with optional medallions and T-Grips. They feel nice and do age a little with time and handling.

I recently had a matched set of Colt Single Action Army Revolvers re- Royal Blued and Case Hardened back at the Colt Factory after twenty years of shooting them in SASS matches. They had gotten a bit "tired looking". They came out so magnificently, I wanted to have two new sets of Ivory grips made for them. After a bit of research and correspondence, I chose Dan Chesiak (Connecticut) for the task. He did am awesome job and did everything that I wanted down to the smallest detail. I highly recommend him if you are looking for genuine Elephant Ivory!

Might I suggest "no bark" stag like these grips from Grashorn Gunworks. These elk stags are as smooth as butter. These are on an N frame but he makes K frames too.

I only have a couple of sets, a relatives wartime bring backs during the 1940's. They're all smooth elephant ivory. This pair is on one of my 1905 HE Target models. I have an identical set on my Model 15, but no photo. They look very nice, but get awful slippery from sweaty hands. I never shoot with them on. Good for the BBQ! Pass the brisket boys!

Haven't owned any real ivory (yet), but my model 13 did enjoy fakin' it with some "bonded ivory" for awhile. Always loved the look of ivory/stags on deep blued guns.
