Ebay


apparently it's dug up in large quantities from the sea bed and certain areas of Tundra..
If you've got the cash you could buy a whole tusk

 

[Dougster]

and depending upon the acidity and nature of the soil it varies red through blue and green hue apparently.

Beautiful knife, wish I could have enough money to buy all the pretty things.

Now that really is a thing of beauty!

Makes me wish I as not an abuser of knives.

Lovely knife. One of the unexpected bonuses of global warming is the melting of permafrost in some areas of Siberia, and the thousands of mammoth and mastodon tusks that are now becoming uncovered.

can't believe you're selling the penillion bert:O

 

[Sniper]

I could'nt use it, I'd be frightened to dirty it, I would have to frame it and charge people to come and look at it! An absolute beauty.

 

[bert333]

can't believe you're selling the penillion bert:O

Yes- it is a shame but needs must when you make a silly mistake-
(how dare that tree jump out in front of me )

Sniper- you can use this knife but I would not recommend you baton with it as that will ruin that fantastic work fromPenillion.
But you can frame it too if you so wish - it is quite beautiful and unique -
I'm reluctant to let it go but got to pay for motor repairs - such is life- luxury items go first!

Make it go away please Bert, I keep reaching for my wallet which at the moment is very empty.
