And one more. The stabilized mammoth tooth is a new and interesting stuff for me and it was a bit of challenge, but I like the looks and the uniqueness of this material so I'll use it in future for sure. At first it was a surprise for me that some parts of the tooth were realy hard to grind and they threw some sparks , but then I though that this is enamel after all and it's normal to be so hard. The surface of the spacers is lower than the level of the wood and the tooth. I added some elements on the sheath to go along with the red piece on the handle and to break the flatness.

Steel - Elmax 61 HRC.
OAL - 243 mm (~9.4").
Blade - 114Х25.5Х3.8mm (~4.5x1x0.15") flat grind secondary bevel.
Blade finish - p 800.
Handle - stabilized alder burl , stabilized mammoth tooth, inox.
Leather sheath with wooden inlay.
Weight with/without sheath: 154/203 grams.
