That's amazing work! I have followed some of your threads, and I love the ivory work as well.
Really inspiring, I have a few GD's, and a few more on the way. I am definitely going to get busy with them.

Before I got into the razor thing, I enjoyed fitting handles to Norwegian style knives. I am trying to get a legal and reliable supply of warthog tusks. There is an abundance of them in South Africa, but difficult to import them to the UK. I managed to get two into the country by buying bottle openers made from them at a curio shop. I really think it can be a good material for scales, it polishes up to a glass finish, with lovely grain and colour variations. I can only imagine what you will be able to do with it!

That’s a nice looking knife!
I’m glad you resurrected this thread, it’s a good one and I forgot about it.

Thanks, I ordered very good quality blades from Scandinavian manufacturers, absolutely love them for their simplicity in shape, and the fact that they don't have secondary bevels make them super sharp. I enjoyed fitting different handles to them, but then ran out of inspiration, because you can only use so many knives. Don't think I ever cut anything apart from test cutting paper with this one.
I can just imagine a sexy, chunky razor with scales made of these tusks.

Glad to see your still lurking about and playing with blades.

Always inspiring to see these beautiful razors, and I am one that loves to see this post.
