Rich Hale Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 ATS 34 blade, heat and cryo treated. 416 nickel guard with mammoth molar scales. This also sold to the first person at the Vegas show that held it/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Could it be that he was in the wooly mammoth skinning business, and finally found a suitable blade to work with? (grin) Nice knife !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Patrick Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'll bet getting the tooth out of the mammoth is pretty tricky, they tend to get irritated. Very nice piece. How do you work with the tooth material? Just like wood or is there some special technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Hale Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Other than being very fragile until it is epoxied onto steel it works just like stone I use a diamond saw to rough cut and a diamond belt to finish, And yes it is a bit pricey. If anyone would like a supplier let me knopw and I will send you the name of the guy I buy from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
