Is that bone infilled with acrylic? It looks translucent.

Beautiful regardless.

It is translucent, I am not sure how these Kudu are made. This one not as much as the one I got in 2018.
Look at this guy under the light:

Kudu is very porous, and its filled with Resin.

I was not sure how I would like this pattern, but it has incredible ergonomics. It is also a pleasure to carry. Not too small at all, just right.

JoKr , interesting info regarding the Kudu bone. I knew that the color was artificially added, but I had no idea it was processed to that extent. What do they do to this old mammoth ivory to prepare and stabilize it?

Thank you for the compliment bbk357 . I only had a nanosecond to act and snatched the first knife that caught my eye. It was over in an instant. Only then could I slowly look it over. I saw the pile side for the first time after buying the knife, and I was happy to see how nice it is.

Wow… that one is perfect. Certainly my favorite I’ve seen. Man I love mammoth.

If you have a hard time using your mammoth I’ll swap you my kudu bone, it’s totally a user!

I have a FMW inbound. A great member here scored one for me when my wife and I were signing for our first home. I’ve very grateful for it. It’s my first Northwoods and won’t leave my collection. Cheers to all who got their first
