A few knife handles...
« on: December 24, 2011, 08:10:00 PM »
The wife and I flew up to AK for Christmas with the kids so decided I would do a little hunting while here. I put an add in the local "trader" site looking for handle material. I think I done well so far...    :D

40#, 5' oal (18" not in pic) of fossil mammoth tusk. Whatcha think?

Thanks guys, wish I could find a bunch more of this stuff. Not sure how many handle scales I've got here but there are several...  

We're in Sitka Fin, get out there and find some of these or maybe a fossil walrus tusk or two and we'll be talkin doing some swapping.    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Looks good, Doug. I think you have about enough to put handles on one knife for every TradGanger!
