Damaged Mammoth Ivory

[BurkStar]

I just picked up a Lovestrand with gorgeous blue mammoth ivory, but unfortunately there's a very small crack coming off of one of the pins. It only goes one direction but is all the way through the ivory. Is there anything I can do to fill this crack?

Super Glue it so the crack doesn't grow bigger.

Yep, superglue is the answer. Fill the crack then wipe out the excess with acetone. The first time a ivory handle cracked on me I freaked out, then I found out ivory always cracks so now I just fill them with superglue.
