SOLD
For Sale Walrus Ivory (Damascus) Fighter
OAL: 9 1/8"
Blade: Hollow Ground 4 5/8" X 1" X 5/32"; Craig Barr Damascus RC 57-58 in his amazing Gator Back pattern; deep etched and polished out. All my Damascus blades are solid Damascus through and through no welding on cheaper steel for the tang.
Bolster/Hardware: 416 Stainless in a 600 grit brushed finish, mosaic pins.
Handle: Ancient Walrus Tusk; Note: the left handle scale has a beautiful rose tint to it which Ive never seen in walrus before and both scales were cut from one tusk. The "cracks" you see on the bottom are natural (in the tusk) and not a result of peining the pin. This Ivory was stabilized so I'm not a bit concerned about them moving.
Sheath: 8-9 oz. premium tooling leather made and hand sewn by maker; Dark Brown high gloss finish and leather belt loop.
This knife comes with an unconventional thong bead. It is an actual Mammoth Ivory Tusk Tip. Not too practical, but a very cool way to accent this knife. It hails from Siberia and is approximately 15-20,000 years old.
Price: $425; plus $13.50 shipping to the continental U.S. Overseas buyers pay actual freight and only Paypal is accepted for out of the U.S. sales.
Paypal: wayneandrainy@aol.com or personal check (inquire for details)
The walrus tusk came from St. Lawrence Island in the Bering Sea of Alaska. These tusks wash up on shore during the wild storms that hit the area annually or they are buried in the soil along the coast. They are anywhere from a couple of hundred years old to over a thousand. It is legal to trade in ancient walrus but not modern ivory as a result of the Marine Mammal protection laws. Also, only native Alaskans may collect it and then they resell it. Unfortunately, like everything else, China has discovered the beauty of this ancient ivory and is buying it up like crazy which just make the price keep going up. I had to come up with a handle material worthy of Craigs amazing Gator Back patterned Damascus. I think I did.
Thanks for taking a look and let me know if you have any questions.
