Is This Ivory? Bone? Polished Stag?

Similar to OP knife handles, but the same material ? i'm not sure.

KJ, nice little knife, I like wart hog ivory also, getting a little high priced but at least not restricted yet. This is one I made for a customer back in 2013 with wart hog ivory. Terry

Kj, could be either but looks more like polished, undyed bone to me. If it is wart hog , they sanded it down to get rid of the natural groove that always has a brownish color (due to rooting around on roots). It would take a pretty big tusk to do that but not impossible. So, bottom line is I'm like everyone else, just guessing at this point. Terry

My first gut instinct was camel bone. I'll stick with that call for a while, just don't ask me to defend it.
