Trapper Knife with Mammoth Tooth Handles

Past work, not for sale

This trapper knife features polished mammoth tooth handles with striking blue-gray, cream, brown, and reddish-brown banding created by the natural internal structure of the tooth. The alternating layers are especially prominent across the handles and give this piece a distinctive striped appearance. The knife measures 3.5 inches closed, with blade lengths of 2 5/8 inches. This piece has been sold and is preserved in the Rough Cut Lapidary gallery as an example of past work.

About Mammoth ToothMammoth tooth preserves complex internal tooth structure that can produce distinctive bands, layers, and colors when cut and polished. Because mammoths are extinct, mammoth tooth is a finite material that cannot be produced again. All mammoth tooth used by Rough Cut Lapidary is legally sourced before purchase, and we retain available source information that accompanies the material. Mammoth tooth and mammoth ivory are different materials.
