I am organizing some knives to show-and-tell at the Rendezvous, and came across this one which I won't bring across the border for obvious reasons!
Disclaimer - the handle material was from an estate, and paperwork dates the tusk from pre-WWI. That is well before the ban, and from a time when Ivory was considered OK in society.
I will keep this piece in honor of the creature who gave its life for it, and never sell it for profit.
Serial number 02, Bill made a few knives for me in trade for the Elephant's tooth.
This is a great, single-spring pattern, very carryable with useful blades, and plenty of eye appeal, and, pocket appeal! Semi-sunk joints make up for the square end bolsters!

What an amazing knife. I could not help but carry and use mine!
I am grateful for your passion, and the things you have helped bring about in the world of knives!

Someday, I will make it to the rendezvous!
