Let's see your traditional mammoth and/or ivory

[hartlogan]

Logan,

Sorry to have started you down the primrose path ... well ... only kinda sorry.

No worries, I fully blame you. But I'll forgive you 100% if you send me that Davison

Good golly, Miss Molly!! That is one beautiful piece of art!

Y'all are killing me with all these beautiful mammoth ivory knives. Not something I can afford at the moment but one day I will have my grail knife as well. I have always been mesmerized by these. Really awesome knives everyone!

Here are a few little fellas I put together for me and me friends:

Dang Evan, you do some impressive work. Been enjoying seeing your mods around but those take the cake.

I never realized that this thread was missing from the forum! I love mammoth, even if it isn't chatoyant like nice wood! I believe all of my mammoth Slipjoints are by John Lloyd, a couple have new owners that I hope to see here as I miss them!

My group picture when I got home:

Fixed blades:

Lloyd folders:

Big old chunk of mammoth- look at those colours, all chalky white on the outside until a soak in mineral oil brought out the purples, pinks etc!

I have no idea what to do with her, except things like this:

An older shot with the Stellar Sea Cow Lanny's clip

To be honest the trapper with black streaks is no longer mine either, my daughter loved it so much and always picked it for my daily carry, so much that a no two days in a row rule was put in place. Well, until her sixth birthday when she became the new owner of it.


Some scales from the apparent master of mammoth Don Hanson:

I have no idea what to use these scales on yet!

This guy rides in my pocket, it's a fingernail for therapists not allowed to grow their nails. I figure adding the ebony and ivory pair I made. It is a great knife companion!

Forgot that I haven't unpacked this guy yet, mammoth tibial plateau anybody??

Okay, so maybe mammoth is my second favourite handle material. I'm just glad I was able to score most of the older Lloyd's at a great bundled deal, they are all great!!

I too blame you John for my mammoth obsession! Glad you let this one go

Thanks Rob!It seems like my friends and I share your good taste for mammoth.

What can I say, great minds think alike...

 

[addylo]

Well i'm looking for that "friend" button.

Here are a few little fellas I put together for me and me friends:

Looking good! :thumbup:

 

[esnyx]

sorry for the experimental photo. heres mine. bit of a plain jane in comparison but the reason i bought this was to do with the journey of time. .Northfield 79 workhorse.The colour and variation of this material is truly astounding.

 

[addylo]

Nothing plain Jane about that. Just the thought that it walked the earth 10,000 years ago is pure awesomeness.

I have the mammoth disorder.

This reminds me that I need one for my pocket, can't seem to hang on to one very long.

Maybe a GEC in mammoth will work...

Thanks for this thread!

Rob, glad you are liking it, the mammoth on that piece is very nice. John is a great guy and uses fantastic scale material.

Glad to see I'm not the only mammoth junkie.

I only have a limited number of pics uploaded to my IPad, but have been coming across a fair bit of ivory recently.

Thanks, the pile side is sweet too.

Jack those gentleman's knives are superb. I love the curves on the last one you posted- thin, swayback and a curvy handfull handle all at the same time! Would it be considered a quill knife?? More details please- walk/talk, age/manufacturer, what wonderful story you have of finding it... You know the usual.

Oh, and more blade pictures of the ?whittler? with the nice case if you wouldn't mind.

I love all if the variety in the pictures here, each piece is do unique and hold a link to our primitive past! Thanks again for the pics everybody!

Thanks a lot Kris. The Quill knife was a very generous gift from Duncan in New Zealand, and is certainly old. There is something written on the tang, but unfortunately neither Duncan nor I can make out the name of the maker.



Here's some more pics of the Joseph Rodgers Whittler
