Damascus Steel Knife with Dinosaur Gembone Handles
Past work, not for saleThis handcrafted knife features a Damascus steel blade paired with polished dinosaur gembone handles. The fossilized bone displays tan coloration within a densely preserved bone cell structure. The fine cellular pattern extends across the handles and complements the layered pattern of the Damascus steel blade. This piece has been sold and is preserved in the Rough Cut Lapidary gallery as an example of past work.
About Dinosaur GemboneDinosaur gembone is fossilized dinosaur bone that has been mineralized over geologic time. Much of the dinosaur bone we use comes from the Late Jurassic Morrison Formation, which occurs across parts of Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, and surrounding areas. All dinosaur bone used by Rough Cut Lapidary is legally sourced from private land. The colors visible in polished gembone occur within the preserved fossilized bone cell structure.
