I recently picked up a Northwoods Fremont without any packaging to confirm the handle material. I sent a few pics to KSF and they responded with their opinion and believe it to be mammoth. I feel like it is more likely Giraffe. Can we have a vote? I know KSF erases the photos of their drops as soon as the sales are over (which is usually minutes) but recently stumbled on a thread right here on BF which linked to the most recent Bear Lake drop--super helpful. Does this exist in some other archive where I might be able to review the previous Fremont drops to confirm once and for all which handle material I have on this particular Fremont? Thanks everyone!

I'll definitely post more tomorrow in natural sunlight--agreed these arent the best pics...
 
And imbed full size pictures, please. Thumbnails are small, even when clicked. At least they are for me. Less than 1/3 screen, at best. ☹️

typical Giraffe bone, definitely no mammoth, maybe camel bone

Doesn’t look like mammoth to me but what the heck do I know? I’m just posting to say I found the KSF picture of my Northwoods from when it dropped years after it sold. I subsequently emulated the original…maybe do a bit more searching and you may find your knife’s original glamour shot.C2C0EEE5-9A49-45C5-8822-FFA89AF381D2.jpegF3D3DA9A-1C4A-49D1-A812-D8DFFB93C52C.jpeg

Now if only i could find those old KSF Fremont drop pics archived. Here are a few pics from this morning. Giraffe? Mammoth? Other? Thanks for everyone's opinion--its much appreciated.
 
Excellent thanks gentlemen -- I have a wanted listing for a Giraffe right now...maybe i actually already have one. and i really appreciate the comparative photos JoKr--huge help
 
Looks like you got it sorted out. Just wanted to throw out a couple thoughts. You could weigh it on a gram scale and compare to another. My Mammoth Fremont feels a fair bit lighter than others. Another fairly easy option, Mammoth will absorb oil and change color. Giraffe will not.
