Excellent work! Love it! -Matt-

Very nice. :thumbup: Hippo's have tusks??

 

[hlee]

Lower tusks can be as much as 18 inches long. They nest within a recess in the upper jaw when the mouth is closed, unlike pigs or elephants for example. That knife is outstanding.

Always thought those were big teeth. Thanks for the hippo education. :thumbup:

I love this knife for all evident reasons! Hippo tusk, WOW! I would've never thought of that and the nickel spacer is a nice accent. I love the groove accents along the spine (hope that's what it's called). Similar to what one might find on a Filipino/Guamanian blade's spine (those being more straight lines), of course I have never seen this type of pattern. Nice nice nice!
