Damascus Steel Knife with Mammoth Tooth Handle
Past work, not for saleThis handcrafted knife pairs a Damascus steel blade with polished mammoth tooth handle scales. The mammoth tooth displays the natural banding and layered structure that makes this material especially distinctive when cut and polished. The knife was originally sold with a sheath and is shown here as an example of past Rough Cut Lapidary 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 available source information that accompanies the material is retained. Mammoth tooth and mammoth ivory are different materials.
