Wootz and mammoth ivory kitchen knife for sale
From time to time I make something other than razors, mainly to do something useful with leftover pieces of steel that I can't really use for razors. I've made a couple and want to move them because now they're just sitting here. I don't have a good grasp on what a good price would be so I am leaving it to the people to decide and run this as an auction. The starting price is the price of the materials + shipping. That way at least I'll have recovered the materials.
This auction will run as specified in the rules. Starting price is 250 USD. Shipping is included in the price. It will run for 3 days from today.
Payment is via bitcoin or paypal. Payment in bitcoin gets 5% discount because then I don't have to pay the paypal fee.
The winner is the highest bid after the 3 day period
This is a wootz kitchen knife I made. The sole reason the starting price is so low is that I got the wootz blank as a gift from a friend. I got it for free and as such don't want to ask a lot of money for it. the starting price is just the cost of the handle, which is fossilized mammoth tusk ivory with natural blue topaz gems inlaid. For reference: if this was a commissioned piece with those materials, the price would be going somewhere in the 800 USD range. The cutting edge is 5"

Are the letters on the blade runes?

Yes it's my makers mark. The first is a combination of 2 runes, and the second is the Lorraine cross. Originally Posted by rolodave

And let me reiterate that the starting price is the best deal you'll EVER find in a wootz and mammoth knife.
