I guess I'll call this "chocolate"? It's not "creme". It's not "ivory" ivory.
So, for now, it's "chocolate".
The knife was forged from 7/8" 52100 with a full through tang.
Ebony handle and two ivory inlays.
I had a friend who retired some years ago and kept a big chunk of mammoth ivory on her desk as a paper weight!
Every now and then I use a piece of the center for inlays, but this is the first time I've used a piece of the exterior.
Should have been using it all along, eh?
This is NOT your "every day carry" - it's 9 3/4" overall with 5" of working steel.
Sheath in-progress.
Thanks for sharing this with me.
