oooh, I agree! I think I know what I will ask santa to put in my stocking! (of course $100 is a pretty extravagent stocking stuffer - may have to go under the tree)

It's a nice blade, but I don't really care for the scales on it.



This one is right beside it on the site, and it's the same price. I prefer it!

The Bismarck is on my X-mas list!!

This is my Christmas wish Dovo.

Red or black, Marciaga?

I prefer the red. I have too many black-handled razors, and I like getting bright coloured ones to liven things up a bit.

Plus, with the red handles, the blood won't be so noticeable!

Every one of the pictures in this thread are beauties! I've just added a couple more things I need to tell Santa I want for Christmas this year!

I hope my computer doesn't short out with all the drool...LOL

That mammoth's weird. After having likely hunted them to extinction our fetish for ivory follows them to their 20,000 yr old graves. Gorgeous I'll admit, but kinda creepy.

I see it a different way. A lot of this stuff is uncovered in dump sites on archaelogical digs. Back in the day ~ caveman days actually ~ they hunted the mastodon and mammoth mostly for meat and fur. Normally the tusks, etc ended up thrown in the garbage pit with all of the other waste, such as feces, food scraps, other bones, fallen comrades, garbage, etc. Sure some of it was used for tools, etc, but stone was better for spearpoints and such in our neanderthal predecessor's eyes. Obsidian, that type of thing. Ivory was just another bone to them. The cool colorings such as blue, green, and so forth came from rotting garbage that it was buried with as it fossilized. As man became more civilized, so to speak, he began to hold ivory in a bit higher regard, and as such it began to be used in a myriad of ways. That's why the tusks that are found now are most likely from WAY back. Anyway, this bit of Discovery channel drivel I got fom a purveyor of the bark at a Blade show in Atlanta some years ago. Take it for what it's worth. Personally, I think it's the bees knees to own something that stomped around the earth who knows how long ago. Meteorite steel.....? Don't even get me started! :-) ..........Jeff
