Your knives having the most unique or rare handle/scale material(s)...

This is one of my favorite threads so I think it needs a bump with this recent ivory addition.View attachment 1635306

I personally do not own a single piece with Elephant Ivory.
I kind'a kick myself for not getting one of the GEC's lady leg knives, or one of their Whalers in the Ivory.
Anyhow... Nice looking knife you have there!

always love seeing the engraving work done on your 15s!

Thanks, Jimmy…the pieces that I have are pretty treasured. The whaler in ivory is a grail…maybe someday. Here’s a pair of legs for your viewing…

"Unique" I might have, since supposedly no two pieces of stag are identical.
"Rare"? Pretty sure I don't have that. Offhand I'd guess even my 2 stag handles are "common".
"Unique"(?) Stag handled:
2018 Buck 301 Forum Knife, and GEC Northfield UN-X-LD Harness Jack.

these are gorgeous. Ive always wanted one of these just due to liking the style.

Don't know if it's rare or not but my very favorite is curly Koa, I can't think of a better looking wood for knives. But I don't ever see it used on traditional, except for customs.

I have a very old fleam in stag. I searched and searched and could not find a similar fleam from the mid 1800s in stag. It is gorgeous. My only other rare handle is a Lloyd back pocket in Fokker airplane propeller micarta from around WW1

Here's the picture. I had to find it. We found this knife when cleaning out my wife's grandmother's house.
