Here are some really nice ancient walrus ivory tusk sections for hidden tang knives. I have had these for about six months, so the colors should be set and they are half cured. I am happy to answer any questions about the stuff or working with it. It is guaranteed to be legal and naturally colored, happiness is guaranteed, if you find you can't use it when you get it in your hands, return it for your purchase price back, please do that within seven days. I take all the normal forms of payment, Paypal, checks, or credit cards over the phone. The prices shown will be plus shipping and insurance, I ship using USPS flat rate shipping where I can, I ship anywhere it is legal and charge only the actual shipping charges. You may PM me, email me or call me on the phone (though sometimes I have loud machines running and can't hear it).

Shipments overseas must have a CITES Permit.

Silver, Coho, and Kokanee.
Kokanee are delicious!
 
Thanks to Mr. Knapp for the opportunity to win free ivory and for his hard work on the ivory issue!!!
I am posting here again to set the record straight, a Kokanee is a landlocked Sockeye salmon not a silver or Coho...so this being the case if the last fish you caught on said fly was in fact a silver, I would say Mr. Alan Davis is the rightful winner.

Up here in Alaska, we don't have any land locked sockeye although I am aware that land locked sockeyes are called Kokanee in most of the lower U.S. We do have land locked silvers though, and some people call them Kokanee. I have never heard a silver called a Hooknose, and I have spent much of my adult life as a commercial salmon fisherman and a sportfishing guide, although I am sure some people do. In any of my contests I have to go by my personal experience, local colloquialisms and all. The reason I have cut back on my contests quite a bit is because people sometimes dispute the judges (my) decisions. I will never be able to make everybody happy but I try. Thanks for playing.

We are going to be away from the computer for a week (Out back sighting in weapons and training our guard dogs. We wouldn't want anyone to think we are out of town :D). So if you want to ask questions or order something, we will catch you in July. Our helper will be answering emails and the phone but she doesn't do Blade Forums much. Thanks Mark
