Greetings....

True Story..

Dude walks up to me in the bank (large homeless community / Insane Asylum in the area) mumbling about dentures made from hippo teeth.

The guy is carrying a large weathered box full of ivory.

The guy was talking to the teeth like they were people, calling each one by name, only he could hear the teeth talking back but he was engaged in quite a conversation...

I saw my opportunity....$$$

Long story short I made a deal and ended up with an awesome box of Hippo Teeth..

Hippo Tooth Sportster in BG-42

Thanks for looking at my thread...

Much Respect

A true ivory man. I can relate :D

Cool little knife, man!
 
Don, you don't talk to your ivory like it's people, do you?
 
I like that knife!

It's not hard to believe your story -- I was in CC last week. We got all kinds :D
 
It's definitely a true story.....I've seen the proverbial Hippo Ivory box Mike was referring to. The Hippo Ivory really came out nice on the Sportster Mike. :D
 
I really like the Sportster model and the Hippo tooth looks great. The scales look a little thick for what I like about this knife.
 
Neat little knife and great story.

On another note I have always liked your knives but was a bit put off by the gangster talk. I have been reading some of your posts of late and the good dude in you just can't help but come out.

You got a new fan
