Fossil walrus ivory 5.7 ounces. 5 inches long x just shy of 2 inches wide x ½ inch thick. Very deep colors, old ivory - several thousand years old. This could be split for a set of scales or use as is for hidden tang. Cracks are just surface ancient cracks - adds to character and non slip. $170

Fossil walrus ivory 4.4 ounces. 4 inches long x - end is 1 ½ x 1 inch. Tapers to ½ inch tip. I was fixing this piece up to be a hidden tang handle. But--- look at the awesome inside colors! I left as is because if I used it I’d use for end caps guards spacers etc to show off the inside pattern. But could be carved or sanded down to the nice pattern for a full handle. $130

Very solid-- with exceptional colors. Some green and soft blues. Colors run deep. Fits the hand well for hidden tang. Possibly enough material for two full knives. This one sold within 15 minutes of posting
