New thread about ivory laws

[Mark Knapp]

I have started a new thread about ivory laws in the "knife laws" sub forum. It is stickied to the top. If you ever need information about what's legal and what is not check there. I will be adding to it as things change, keeping you abreast of "the fight" and how to use ivory. You could even win free ivory there.

Here's the link http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...vory-for-knives-or-buy-sell-knives-with-ivory

Check in often.

Mark: This is a great service for all who care to base their beliefs and actions on facts rather than pure emotion and biased "information". You've been beaten up a lot verbally by well intended but naive institutions and people who seem more interested in making political statements than effecting real change. Focusing on individual transactions will only dilute broader efforts to hit the relatively few big time international bad guys. As a side note, bans on mammoth and old walrus ivory will punish primarily Alaska Natives many of whom have minimal economic opportunities beyond harvest of natural resources, including remains of walrus dead for centuries and more and mammoths dead for millennia. I have one elephant-handled knife and I never intend to sell it so don't really feel like an active player in the game. It's just all so wrong-headed I can hardly stand it. Where we lead, China will not follow. It would be a joke if it weren't so serious a political show for all the wrong reasons, especially for the easy knee jerk state reactions. Thanks, and keep the info flowing.
