Ken does business his way. No website, no orders taken. When he feels in the mood he will carve out one pair, or three, but only when he feels like it. He then posts them on the appropriate forum and hopes someone likes them as much as he does! It is simply a matter of scanning the for sale sections to see if anything is listed.
Cutting stocks is not his job. It is not his vocation. It is his avocation and as long as it is enjoyable he will continue doing it. Once it becomes a job, he will be done!
Do I wish it were different? Not really, I want him to keep cutting stocks for decades!

I have Bigmountainman grips on a couple of mine and they are nice. If you want another option check out Zane Thompson at LSCG (Lone Star Custom Grips). You can find him on Instagram under those names. He does extremely nice grips in a variety of materials.

I have both elk and sambar grips, and while I like the price of the elks I greatly prefer the look and feel of sambar.
These were on a clapped out BSR at Cabelas for $299. No brainer - I traded off the gun and put the stags on my old .32/20 M&P.
Sambar stag comes from India, and for some reason they have decided not to export it any more. I don’t know why since it comes from shed antlers and the animal is unharmed. But with the price being what it is, I’ll buy almost any gun wearing it.

I have to agree. I like the elk stocks as well, but much prefer the looks and feel of the sambar stags. I bought two N-frame sambar sets from Eagle many years ago; forty dollars a pair. That seemed high at the time and it probably was, but they still look new and these are on revolvers I shoot regularly.
I have two sets of Eagle Sambar Stag I was fortunate enough to pick up used at two shops I frequent for a very good price. The price of new pairs from Eagle is WAY up there.
I also have three sets of elk from BigMtnMan (one with medalions)and I consider myself fortunate on those also. One pair of Grasshorn also purchased used. I like the bark on the Grasshorn - shown on model 19.

I purchased some wood grips from Eagle and the fit wasn't good. I sent them back and they are better but not great. You may have better luck.

WOW Xfuzz, the Sambar Stag grips on that Super Blackhawk are outstanding! I don’t care what you paid for the gun, you got a deal because of the grips.
