Home Forums Gear Knives and Blades Mammoth Ivory

Beautiful stuff here. Master Bladesmith Bruce Bump in Walla Walla, WA has made me 2 custom knives. 1st was with BG42 steel and second was with S30V. Both had Ironwood scales are are fantastic knives. Both have gotten extensive user on elk, deer, black bear and even on a cougar and a couple moose. Then a couple years ago Bruce made my brother a custom knife with some Mammoth ivory that my brother purchased when he took a trip to Alaska. After seeing the finished knife I knew I had to have a knife with Mammoth scales. Recently I took my S30V knife to Bruce to see if he could replace the Ironwood with Mammoth ivory. He had no ivory that wsd suitable but he did have some Mammoth tooth. The tooth pieces were a bit short so he used some Ebony at the bolster end. Turned out freaking awesome! Will see if friend Boise can post pics for me.
