I picked up a small 2008 mammoth annual today and it has beautiful cream colored ivory. I love the cream color verses white, but any mammoth is good no matter what it looks like.

Aye, that's it right there. I think that is just about the best knife I can see someone owning out side of a hand made knife. (I only say "just about" because it's a small :p) A superb score indeed. :thumbup:
 
That's beautiful and looks so comfortable that I seriously don't think I'd be able to release it from my grip.:D
 
I appreciate everybody taking the time to post. Now some sad news :( I was talking to the folks at the factory today and they are no longer accepting any new mammoth orders. After they complete their current orders which will take around six month there will be no more new mammoth. She said they are just having a hard time buying any mammoth that looks good.
 
I remember the MI annuals from 2008. Natural inlay materials are just like fine wine, and 2008 was an extraordinary year for inner-cut mammoth ivory. Congrats on a very nice piece!
 
Seems to be a trend. Not sure what's going on in the mammoth market but it recently took a custom maker awhile to pick out some for a folder for me. I've yet to see it, but I'm hoping it's good stuff :thumbup:

To those with mammoth bark/ivory CRK's hold on to them! Oh, and I'm so jealous it hurts!:D
 
That with some damascus is a grail for me. Even without the damascus, such a great piece. lucky dog :thumbup:
 
Tom -- hope you don't mind me hijacking your thread . . . more 2008 MI:

Heck no I don't mind, I have admired those knives before. Damascus really does complete the package. Wonderful pictures and knives.
