Hi Philip,  a google has brought up this one which looks good, but that's all I can say of them: http://www.english-handmade-knives.co.uk/acatalog/Bolsters_sometimes_know_as_ferules.html ...  got a good range of other items too.

Some where to start.

David,

I'm glad you knew what they were.

The nearest I'd have got would have been 'Scales', the Wood, Horn, Plastic(!) etc., used either side to make the handles. So I've learnt something today - job done,

Thanks.
