Hippo tooth

[cristiansilva]

I want to show a knife I did this year, damascus blade, handle of hippo tusks, anodized and fileworked titanium spacers. The handles have a few scrimshaded scrolls. Stainless steel bolsters and all rivets and pins are silver.
Hope you like, Cristian.

Wow!!! That is nice. How difficult was it to carve that hippo tooth?

Thanks !!
The hippo ivory is harder than elephant ivory, but is a very friendship material, in my experience I can say that it is easy to work.
