Got this at a knife show a few years ago at the table of a knifemaker from South Africa. He told me it was carved by an artist friend of his, also South African, from the tusk of a warthog. Here is a link to a photo:

Really liked it, but it ended up in a desk draw for the last few years, so I figured I would offer it here in exchange for something that I genuinely do need. Note that there appears to be a tiny piece missing off the very tip of the beak; don’t know if I did that or it came that way. Just wanted to mention it.

Anyway, ideal trade would be for a small (Single AA) flashlight. Nothing fancy, but single AA size is most desirable for me right now. Will consider just about anything else though. Thanks!!!
 
Tried listing this on eBay and they rejected the ad. Seems they have a thing about warthogs. Claim the tusk is ivory, so they can't list it. So: somebody trade me something for it?
