Sources for mammoth?

[Jason Fry]

I need a nice set of mammoth, elephant, or walrus ivory scales about 4 1/2" by 1." Customer wants a crackle texture with brown. Any ideas where to find such a thing?

How soon do you need them, I know a guy getting a shipment in. It's not here yet, but should be in soon

I was hoping you'd chime in, Ryan. Richard Shilling wants a big knife from me with mammoth like on the last two you did. Do you know if Turnage has stock on hand that doesn't make it to the website? Don't need them too soon, probably by mid November?

I'm not sure if Turnage has any not posted. Might be able to give him a call.

Another place is alpha knife supply

They are awesome to deal with and they have some directly listed that when ground a little bit will be exactly what you are looking for.

The shipment I am waiting to check out is hoping to be here in November.

try a search for Mark Knapp knives. He is a local maker here in Fairbanks AK that has quite a selection for sale.
