Title: One to keep
Post by: OconeeDan on May 30, 2008, 12:06:00 AM

My daughter gave me some mammoth tooth, I finally got around to using it.  I vow to bloody it up this year.
I ground the blade from a damascus billet, and it is 4" long. The bolsters are pinned and dovetailed.
Sheath came out nice too.
