Title: NCCA Show
Post by: tippit on May 04, 2008, 04:22:00 PM

I went to a Northeast Cutlery Collectors Association show in Connecticut yesterday. Mainly factory knives and collectors but I did meet a couple bladesmiths and enjoyed myself.  

But the big reason I went was because one of the bigger sellers of Mammoth Tooth Ivory was there.  Besides the mammoth tooth, I also picked up some India Stage and sheep horn slabs.  My wallet was a little thinner coming home   :rolleyes:  Doc.

Montauks, It is brittle and can crack easily before glue up...but grinds nice.
