This is a Christmas Edition Alaskan Guide 110 , with book matched stabilized mammoth tooth inlays. I had Sambar stag ready for use on it, but an old friend sent me the mammoth tooth, and I had to see how hard it was to work with.

I missed this one some how....she is beautiful.:thumbup:

Did you get a new camera?

 

[hkingdom]

No new camera yet. Still trying to decide which one.

Like the others, I really, really like that look...

I been looking at Jantz and Texas Knivemakers...That have Mammoth "Ivory", and Mastodon "Ivory"...I understand that the "Ivory" is actually from the tusk...but is that the same as Mammoth tooth???

....and as part of the 12 Days of Christmas, the parcels keep arriving. Today it's a drop point 426 and a 422, both users, but they fill slots in my collection.
Thanks for the kind words on that mammoth tooth 110, if they had been spoken sooner, it might still be mine . I found a few more un-photograhed knives, when I tossed the new ones in a drawer. Bg-42's from earlier this year, and a couple of others.

The "tooth" is just that, a tooth from a mammoth. They range from about softball size up to about the size of a small cantalope, cut into slabs, and then stabilized.

Alllll right!! hkingdom, short of the birth of a child....your Christmas package could be the best presents ever, I'm salivating like a Pavlov dog.

I bet the mammoth isn't all that thrilled about it...

How do you clean those scales???...Brush them with Crest???

[chickentrax]

So, tusks aren't just really long incisors, huh??? They're actually outside the mouth???

My High School biology/history classes kind of glossed over the physiology of wooly mammoths...or maybe I was asleep that day...

You never went to the zoo and saw elephants?

They have elephants at the zoo???

It's hard to find a good frontal view of a wooly mammoth...it seems 35mm SLR cameras were rare then...

Ah! Here's a good depiction of a mammoth skull...?!?!?...It's a model kit!?!?!?...

OK, now I see how it goes...The tusks grow out of the side of the jaw, and the antlers grow out of the top of the skull...
