New one in progress
Mammoth Ivory and brass bolsters still rough, but it's so hot I had to call it a day.
I like it so far.

Little Work knife with bark mammoth ivory
Finished Product
The ivory had a void in one edge, as bark ivory is known, for so I stabilized it with Zap-a-gap and sanded it smooth and buffed it to a gloss

Re: New one in progress
NICE!!!!!
I love seeing a mirror finish on great looking knives. It's a shame people don't like mirror polishes as much anymore.
Great job!

Thanks Craig,
I like a mirror finish but it does take more time.
It's sure hard to keep it on these high carbon blades.

Thanks for showing the end result. That is one fine looking knife. Looks every bit as good as I thought it would.

I'm glad you like it Phil. I have a new makers mark stencil and etching machine on the way and I still need to make this one it's own sheath. Then it will ready to go.
Thanks for looking,
