Trapper Knife with Mammoth Tooth Handles

Past work, not for sale

This Buck trapper knife was customized by Rough Cut Lapidary with polished mammoth tooth handles. The tooth displays cream, tan, caramel-brown, and blue-gray banding created by its natural internal structure. The alternating light and dark layers create a distinctive striped pattern across the handles. 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.
