Let's see your traditional mammoth and/or ivory

[addylo]

This knife was recently posted elsewhere but it made me realize that we need a thread dedicated to mammoth and/or ivory.

Let's see yours! Any fixed or folding traditional is fair game.

Love that! I don't have one. I'd link to my favorite, but someone might buy it. a fella can dream.

Here's a few of mine. I sorta have a mammoth(sized) problem with liking the stuff.

Here is my custom by Bobby Toole in North Sea mammoth ivory.

Oooooh Jeff, how I love seeing that knife. It almost looks like a cross between mammoth and some sort of soapstone or granite or something, and it flows along the length of the knife so, so well. Thanks for sharing :thumbup:

I need to break out the camera.

I met Mr. Poole at Blade and was very impressed with his work. He had some very, very nice pieces at very reasonable prices. That is some nice Mammoth.

Great Eastern Cutlery Northfields - one of these is not elephant ivory

 

[Primble]

Great looking knives and photos guys! :thumbup:

I do not have a single ivory or mammoth ivory, but, I love the history and character they have.

I have avoided them due to the price and the notion I have that I probably would get "addicted" to them.

Addylo - I really like your clean looking setup for the photo of your Northfield. :thumbup:

Wow, hats off to all of you for the great pictures. They really showcase how unique each one with mammoth/ivory is. Truly beautiful knives.

Here's one I made in the Sammi style a while ago. Walrus ivory handle with Elephant piano key spacers and Mammoth large spacer. The sheath front is Walrus ivory. Finnish blade.

Best regards

Thanks guys, Walrus is beatiful Ivory, my favourite to work with. Thought you'd enjoy seeing my stash of tusks. The small tusk is a female aquired in the artic about 90 years ago and is the handle for the knife I showed in my previous post. The sheath came from the piece to the right. The knife in this post was made from the tip of the larger male tust taken by Inuit hunters about 50 years ago.

Best regards

Robin

Kris, there is no photo of the Craddock.

Logan and prisoner6, Bobby is a very nice gentleman, and the smooth, interior mammoth is so very different from the bark, crackle variety.
It does indeed seem a lot like stone, except for the obvious grain lines of the growth rings. Wonderful thread!

 

[Markesharp]

Beautiful craftsmanship Robin! You have talent my friend. :thumbup:

 

[MT Damascus]

Kris, there is no photo of the Craddock.

That is strange, I can see it. Does anyone else see it or not? Thanks Jeff.

Maybe now

Kris

 

[Pipeman]

I can't see the walrus Craddock either.
