Beautiful knives, folks!

When it comes to any sort of ivory, I only have this one. Pretty humble next to other pics in this thread, but I like it...

The above knives are truly spectacular - WOW!

Here are a few humble offerings of my own:

The first is by Bruce Bump, using Mammoth Ivory:



Here is another in Mammoth Ivory by the South African maker Herucus Blomerus:



This one is a Todd Davison in jigged Mammoth Ivory (had never seen anyone do that to Mammoth, so wanted to pick it up):



Finally, a few production pieces by Northwoods - the first in Mammoth, the next two in Elephant:

I like the hobo nickel.

I like the hobo nickel.

Ha! That's Zeus - on a coin minted by Alexander the Great's father, Phillip…

 

[trevitrace]

Sorry, man, thought it legitimately was one. There's some pretty intricate ones out there. Worth checking out if you're bored, I suppose. Hope you weren't insulted, meant no offense.

No, of course not - no insult taken or inferred. He does look a bit hobo-ish

Bruce, I think he was talking about ivory in general (I could be wrong). Don't take it personally. instead, come back and show us more knives.

I used to own this Charlie Morris Liner Lock.

 

[Mark Knapp]

Wow, there's a lot of nice stuff here, but the Lisch and the Andrews are really nice.

Those Northwoods knives are quite popular and good looking, can you give us a ball park figure on the cost of them?

This was my fathers Sunday and special occasions knife .
In his own words his " Hatched , Matched and Dispatched ' knife .
I have no idea of how many Christenings , Weddings and Funerals this knife has seen but its Tradition now lives on with me.
He got it aged 21 and Died aged 83 .
It has been confirmed as Ivory but that is about all I know .
