<p>Hi Doug - This is great info - and great timing! Thank you for posting it.</p>
<p>I have been doing some simple research on US laws before I make an international purchase order.

<p>Hi Doug - This is great info - and great timing! Thank you for posting it.</p>
<p>I have been doing some simple research on US laws before I make an international purchase order. I am using this as practice - and I am using knife maker and iKC member Wayne Morgan as my test subject. Wayne is a South African resident and knife maker who uses exquisite bone, horn and antler in his knives. </p>
<p>I realize as a US resident, it is my responsibility to identify (as accurately and reasonable as possible) if any of the materials in the knife I want are on the list before I purchase. So far, I have not been able to locate a list of ALL specific materials that are subject to scrutiny. I can easily find the big targeted items such as the lists provided in the Knife Rights update - but I have not yet found anything that states <span>Blesbuck horn as either illegal or acceptable for import. (I had to look up what a Blesbuck is!)</span></p>
<p>Do you know of any such "complete" lists of either illegal and or acceptable animal materials? Either by species, country of origin, or even continent perhaps? </p>
<p>I am all over the place first learning what a Blesbuck is; then I seek to learn if it is on any endangered list by any country (What the US may consider endangered may not be in South Africa); then I cross reference this info with what I can find on the US Gov site. </p>
<p>As I am sure you are aware - no one site has all the details needed to make an informed purchase decision - so I thought I would ask you if you know if any "list" sites that I have not found yet - </p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks so much!</p>
