Now that you mention it, I'm surprised he didn't have better pictures and spare parts for it lying around.

Slick an edge with real bone one time and you'll want one. In some of the old sets I get there is a slicking bone or two. We have two lambs in the freezer and suspect some of the bones will make it out to the tool shop.
