For a PowerPoint presentation on Ivory Bans that I am putting together for use opposing these bans, I am looking for high quality photos in landscape orientation (horizontal, not vertical) of Mammoth/Mastodon-handled fixed blade knives at least 1,000 pixels wide. Please post here or email to DRitter@KnifeRights.org

Thanks for your help.
 
Does this meet your requirements? I am guessing that you would prefer examples where the material has coloring that makes it obvious that it is not elephant ivory, but perhaps I am wrong (?). If you would prefer examples where the ivory is more white, let me know

Let me know and I will send you some more by e-mail.

Yep, that's great. Thanks!
 
This thread has potential. :D

I've sent a bunch of additional images to Doug already.

I have others but not available at the moment in the correct size as I often simply use 800 pixel size

removed one as per Don Hanson advice

I can't provide any photographs, but think it might be important to show some interior "white" mammoth ivory that can be contrasted with elephant ivory to demonstrate that the two can be distinguished from one another. To show only colored bark ivory would leave an opening to attack from those who would claim they are indistinguishable. It seems to me that to ignore this issue could potentially undercut your/our point. Maybe Mark Knapp could help.

White/whiter Mammoth would be fine as well.
