I will be looking for a top grade piece of mammoth/walrus ivory for a knife a European knifemaker is going to make me. Can anyone recommend one or more sellers that will be attending Blade?

Thanks,

Marcel
 
Alpaha Knife Supply/Dan Westlind, and Don Feilds Ivory. They always have some great stuff. There are a couple more but I just can't think of their names. Someone will though. Look forward to meeting you Marcel.
 
David Mirabile often has good stuff - he comes straight from Alaska. I would get in touch with him now if I were you.

Don't forget to check out Chuck Bybee's booth Alpha Knife Supply. He always has nice stuff.

Best to get your handle materials early during the show.
 
I try to check out all the handle material vendors. Never know where that one most special piece may be.
However, finding the prettiest piece doesn't always guarantee the best piece.

I suspect he will be in total disguise when he does his shopping rounds. :cool:Furthermore I believe he buys his ivory in ways that are beyond our means as mere mortals;):D:thumbup:

Marcel,
Sorry I missed your call yesterday..... Due to circumstances beyond
my control,I will not be in Atlanta this year. I have been too busy getting my house ready to put on the market due to recent divorce.... The house is being shown as I write this letter. Hopefully it will go quick....(then I'm going to get some MORE ivory) Although I do have some pretty sweet ivory now. Many people have tried, and failed to get any from me... sorry .
I wish you the best in your search.
yeah, follow Don!

David, sorry to missed you too. Good luck on selling the house.
