Check this out! Full lenght narwhal tusks for sale!! They even have knife handle size pieces.
I never thought I'd see them for sale. I just wish I had the $$$ for a full one. :grumpy:

Man that breaks my heart! If I could scrape together seven grand I'd have to spring for one of those babies, divorce or not. I guess that's God's way of watching out for my marriage... ;) I couldn't even afford $150 for scales. <sigh> :(

Thanks for the headsup, I always forget about Boone Trading, they're good folks to deal with and get lots of neat stuff.
 
Dang! That would have to be priced in DOLLARS! Dave, my wife would just take the short route, and scalp me. That's a great site, new to me. Thanks for sharing, shappa.
 
I've bought several narwhal tusks from Boone.First rate stuff.The baby tusks are best for knife handles.I get four handles from a $1000 tusk.Secret Tip - he will take less than the list price.All pre ban and legal.Paperwork provided with tusk.
 
I love narwhal ivory. It is tremendously expensive, but stunning. There is a great supplier in northern Canada that I contacted a while ago. I was interested in getting some tusk from him to send to a maker in the US to be used for a handle on a bowie that I ordered. I was informed that it was illegal for him to send narwhal tusk into the US. It would also be illegal for me to import the knife into Canada with tusk that the maker could get from Boone Trading. My course of action will be to get a Canadian maker to make me narwhal handled bowie.

Even though this really limits my choice of makers (I am sure that there are many Canadian makers that can make me an exquisite bowie), I am sure that I will eventually have a knife with a narwhal tusk handle. I am very smitten with this wonderful example of nature's artistry.
