Congrats Dana! I look forward to seeing your JS knives :)

Yes we carry it. I recommend leaving the top layer of peel ply on while cutting the G10 to shape, but peeling it off before contouring. It can be very hard to peel after being contoured and it likes to leave white strands behind that don't like to go away. Give us a call if you'd like crashradius

Most of the tusks found are a minimum of 15,000 years old. The majority of the tusks actually come from the ground, not ice. Ice tusks are quite rare. When tusks are preserved in ice, they typically do not pick up color on the outside. You are correct with the term "fossilized". However, it...

Jim, Finding a pair of scales that large is going to be extremely expensive. When you think about how large the diameter of a tusk would have to be in order to get a pair of scales like that with any color, that should help put it into perspective. If you wanted white ivory from the core in...
