[milesofalaska]

Small neck knife or could be boot, pocket, purse, hidden, knife. 3 x 1/2 inch blade. L6 steel from 1800'a crosscut saw, double tempered, deep cold cryo treated so made to use. The handle is replica lion fang (real fang illegal) very good copy. Total weight with sheath is light -under 2 ounces. #1-grade fossil mammoth ivory bark from Alaska I find myself. used for sheath. Banded (sterling silver and copper) and pinned so will hold up well. Very one of a kind unique knife. The sheath has loops for the cord. Made in Alaska by me. $175 price includes free shipping in the USA by flat rate. I'm in Alaska, usually 4-5 days to anywhere in lower states. Prefer not to sell overseas milesofalaska@gmail.com is my pay pal

Very interesting.

Handle material - bone? Two or three finger handle?

I'd prefer bone, but no, cast resin. Partly, avoiding animal parts. (fossil ivory is not legally considered an animal part, but a mineral). Nothing died so this knife could be created. Yes! What is the world coming to! However, if I use 'bone' there is a group of customers who might cry. I know. I used to be #5 in the world selling animal parts on line. I got my clock cleaned. Off topic here. I add the cast is a real good copy seeing it side by side with the real you could not visually tell the difference. In fact, I had my cast resin teeth confiscated as real once. Kep in mind as well, trying to price this product in the affordable range. In some cases the raw fossil ivory alone would be worth what I ask for the entire project. Since I find the fossil material myself I can keep costs down. (!)
