This list was compiled by John L. Jensen. Inclusion on this list in no way guarantees performance or quality of service, or business practices regarding these suppliers. I have used most of these people and have personally found them to be reliable, however these are still recommendations only, use your own due diligence before placing an order. I accept no responsibility for the actions of any of the suppliers appearing on this list.

A note on suppliers on Damascus, Ivories, and Pearl Suppliers: Most of these suppliers will on good faith send you a box of material with a nice selection that you can look over ... you pick what you want and send whatever you don't back. This is a really nice gesture, please don't abuse it, and get payment and materials returned expediently.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, or want any specific personal recommendations.
