Got Another Northwoods Beauty!

Just received this Northwoods pre-ban Ivory Gunstock from Forensic
Jim. Of course my scan doesn't do the Ivory justice. You really have to
see it in person to appreciate it's richness. I have to say this is the third
knife I have purchased from Jim and all three of them have been about
as close to flawless as possible!

P.S. Here's Jim's photo of the knife.

Its a beauty Mitch!
Got the stag version coming from Jim in a couple days, myself.
It'll go with my wife's Northwoods stag half-congress.
They are just big, solid, beautifully finished knives.

... MITCH RAPP; "Of course my scan doesn't do the Ivory justice. You really have to see it in person to appreciate it's richness."
I will send you my address so you can send it to me....
Yes that 2nd photo is better but I still want to see it in my hand...
You can TRUST ME I will return it some day.....
Very top notch knife. I have just the place to set her and show her off for you.
I only own one real ivory knife and she could use a friend next to her.

Hey! Ken; Thanks, that's a great looking knife you have there also!
There where only 10 of these knives made by Northwoods and I think Jim
has 2 more left for sale.

Thanks! Bill and Useem; You know these pre-ban elephant ivory handles are
becoming rare in production made knives. I know alot of custom knife
makers still use elephant ivory and they charge a small fortune for their
pieces! So to answer your question, I don't think I will be EDCing this
one anytime in the near future.

Maybe my Grandson will carry it
around the year 2025

Thanks! Ralph; I know you have alot of Northwoods Knives, so you
know how good they can be!

To answer your question I have collected
only 3 Elephant Ivory knives so far. 1 Northwoods, 1 Northwoods
(Scagel) and 1 Marbles (USA).

I have had my eye on a couple of
Customs but I haven't pulled the Trigger yet.
p.s. I do have several Mastodon/Mammoth Ivory Handled Knives but they are just not the same as the good old African Elephant

Is there an elephant ivory thread, and if not, could someone please start one, for example this very Northwoods knife?
I can't... yet, because micarta doesn't count.

Northwoods laser cuts the scales. They are then assembled by Queen.

The man who bought that is Don Franklin. Very nice gentleman. He had already bought one for his son and for him to keep. Apparently his other son found out and he wanted one too. Said his high bid was $220.00. He's going to really like them when he gets them.
