My son and I got to complete quite a few knives. This one is where he spotted a pair of Dark Brown Mammoth scales right off the bat.
I would have grabbed those too, good taste.
These weren't quite done when the photo was snapped. Oh Well, I like the other ones also and they both looked great against a brass bolster.
We made a few knives and rehandled a couple and
we made some REALLY GREAT MEMORIES! That my friends, is what it's all about.

I smile everytime I look at those, but I need to send his to his mom's house in Ohio. I was delighted to see that every time he pulled out a knife that he would invariably pick out the same scales I had in mind. DANG, we had a great time.
I need to find one of these Buck knives with BG-42, CPM154, or CPMS30V for blade steel.

now THOSE are some bucks 110's I can't say I've ever seen any other 110's with mamoth tooth handles. I've always wanted to try some, but never could justify the cost. Just a cheapscape I guess.

The dark brown one, I purchased at the ebay market rate. (was likely $75.00) Merely because it was highly unlikely that I would find a similar set for any less. Those with the unusual colors are going to sell for whatever he has marked. The lighter one, about 3/16 thick, I got for around $22.00. NOT BAD! If you watch, you can get some bargains even on tooth.
Anyone see August Blade magazine, has a small article about mammoth tooth? Page 42 and Charles Turnage is mentioned there. An eBay seller who specializes in mamoth ivory and tooth.
We did use respirators on the mammoth tooth because it had been stabilized. I purchased all the safety equipment before he got here. I picked the 110 because it is a great knife for beginners (must have tools) and the experienced as well.
