i am thinking about getting a new crk as an edc and am wondering how well the mammoth inlays stand up. better or worse than wood?

anyone have any personal experience?
 
Yes, I use these on a daily basis. I rotate them with a few others as well. I keep all my Sebbies or Mnandis in a slip pouch or sheath. Always works great for me!

Good Luck,:thumbup:

Westlan... I'm new here, but I just wanted to let you know those pictures just about made me get a second mortgage on the house... Very nice collection.
 
are they still on the website even... i may have not looked where i should have
 
The ivory inlays on my large Classic (the two on the front scale) have hairline cracks in them. I carry it in my pant pocket, and assume that the cracks were caused by perspiration / humidity.

I would suggest that you think about waxing the inlays with renaissance wax, or something similar, from time to time. I`m doing just that, but of course it is a bit late for that now in my case............ . ;)
 
Mammoth Ivory should be stabilized to resist cracking, imo.
Heck, most all inlayed materials should be stabilized ! ;)

Based on my experience, mammoth ivory has about the same physical propertis as elephant ivory. It's ancient, not fossilized. After all, it's been in the ground for a few towsend years only (usually 10.000-40.000)
 
You and me and everyone on this forum will be long gone before mammoth ivory bark or ivory scales will deteriorate. Enjoy.
