I bought those violin knives more than 30 years ago from an importer of German violin maker suppllies, so I have no idea whether they're available still. Either way, I like the LMI blades better, so I'd replace them with theirs and make my own handles.

I originally tried making my own decals but the they seem to "get lost " when put on a dark veneer such as Rosewood.
