Lets switch gears here. The Old Man Jack pattern was built on the same frame as the Old Man Norman, just turning the barlow style into a jack style by shortening the bolster and adding a cap. The Old Man Jack ended up being made mostly under the Titusville Cutlery line, other than a few collaborations with Mammoth Mike.
Here is one of them with blue mammoth tooth with whale shield.

There were a number of 1 piece prototypes made for Tuna Valley on the Old Man Jack frame. Here is 1 of them in Burnt Stag handles.

I agree, giraffe bone in general can make some spectacular looking handles. I'd like to see it used more often with US makers.
