Stu -

That is a stunning piece.

I'm figuring that you're a single man or your shop is nowhere near your home. My wife absolutely hates it when I grind and sand "dead animals" in the shop and I have good ventilation! :eek:

On this knife you used two of the smelliest animal products that I know of - Warthog and Oryx. IMHO only hippo tooth smells worse. But they do polish out beautifully, don't they? 2thumbs

Nice work my friend.

It's something between elegance and functionality that makes me crazy!
Real nice job man!
Congrats@
 
Where can I get this warthog tooth from??

From a warthog of course!

Here are some of the teeth that I have. The puuko was made from the one third from the left. Still have the tip left which is big enough for another knife. The two on the left are 14" each!

Here is the sheath I made for this blade. The blade cover is made from buffalo horn and the top is cow hide covered in Zebra skin.
