Anton, it was nice chatting with you at the show. I knew you got the Fiskmuk, but didn't realize you scored all the other beautiful pieces.
Congratulations.

That Hanson folder has some of the nicest crackle mammoth ivory that I have seen.

Thanks for the kind words Fiskmuk and Hanson are my first slipjoint and forged ones Fiskmuk is very comfortable in handling it - it really does for hunting purpose. Hanson piece is also beautiful and it has blue liner too (not shown in the picture). There are beautiful pieces on Hanson's table. I am very lucky to score from the masters. Well ... most of my collection are tactical blades ... but I am really amazed with both pieces.

Mehopes he wuz. Don has been intentionally leaving the bark unpolished on some ivory of late to get a kind of "stag" effect. If Mr. Hanson does own any "cracked" ivory that needs to be "salvaged", it is at the botom of his HUGE pile of good stuff. I bought 5 pairs of prsentation grade blue and green scales from him because they were too thick for his thin folders.
