    Alright guys! I have negotiated a final price for this tusk. and am now wanting to try and get a handful of others who may be wanting to prebuy 10lbs or more. If anyone is interested and wants in on this opportunity. Shoot me message. Serious inquirers only.

    I have had one response to this so far and wanted to BUMP the thread and see if there was anyone else who may be interested in some of this material!!


    Please let me know

    Also here are some photos of some of the materials I am going to be selling to help offset the massive cost of this HUGE tusk!

    These are all ivory or mammoth tooth. and range from large to small. all came from my personal stash! And have great potential!!


    EDIT, the 3 white pieces of mammoth ivory are no longer available..

    oivind. When I get the large tusk, I will have pieces that size and larger and can give you a price for them at that point.

    Currently I only have 1 piece of mammoth Ivory that is large enough and its not pictured. Saving it for when I learn to make WA handles.. or for a special project that requires very white handle materials.

    When I first joined this forum, I thought it'd be like a million threads on how to "properly" sharpen a knife. Little did I expect knives made from meteors and mammoth tusks!

    I shall continue to be astounded.
    Am I the only one who searched for The Edge from U2 and ended up here?
