So, I am seeing knives for sale on the Interwebs with scales which clearly appear to be mammoth ivory described as having "phenolic" scales.
Is it possible that these scales are really, somehow, some new phenolic material that perfectly resembles mammoth? If so, where does one go to find this material?
Or is "phenolic" a new euphemism for "mammoth?"
Is there some reason for this? Is phenolic considered to be more desirable or marketable than mammoth??
I just don't get it, and I am wondering if there is anyone else here who thinks that this does not make a whole lot of sense.
