Ok, so I have been enamored with the stag thread started by David Z. I think it is a great idea. Frankly, I think it would be really cool to have several threads separated out by handle material...that way, if someone woke up one morning with Ivory on their mind, they could look at one of the threads and rejoice in an abundance of ivory folders and fixed blades all in one nice, convenient location. Any type of Ivory...Mammoth, Elephant, Walrus. Anyways, just a thought. Lookin for an excuse to repost these 2 dandy Ivory Swaybacks by Tony.

I hope you don't mind me saying, I think I am in love with this knife.:thumbup:
 
Campbell, your T.B. Swaybacks are very nice ! the color of the upper one is highly desirable.
is the ivory radiused at the edges where it meets spring and liners ? could you show a pic of handle spine and a pic looking down into liners ?
thanks; i have an ivory handled single blade folder on the way and asked the maker to radius the scales, but not sure if this is 'usually' done for ivory. i'm sure Mr. Bose does it right !

Roland, I'll try and post a pic this afternoon. The pictures DO NOT do this Ivory justice.
