I guess I'll call this "chocolate"? It's not "creme". It's not "ivory" ivory.
So, for now, it's "chocolate".
The knife was forged from 7/8" 52100 with a full through tang.
Ebony handle and two ivory inlays.
I had a friend who retired some years ago and kept a big chunk of mammoth ivory on her desk as a paper weight!
Every now and then I use a piece of the center for inlays, but this is the first time I've used a piece of the exterior.
Should have been using it all along, eh?
This is NOT your "every day carry" - it's 9 3/4" overall with 5" of working steel.

No, mostly Danish/Scandinavian.
Maybe I should make Puukkos?

Beautiful knife as always Karl. Your knives are all masterpieces. I wish I could help you pay your sponsorship bill as I would love to own one of your knives but things are just too tight. I will however one day own one of those beauties for sure. Keep up the good work. Skippy

Good job Karl!    Lin

Very nice Karl. i have not seen one of your's i did not like
dana

That looks great Karl, nice combo. You might be the first guy to put those two together!

Nice Karl Really like the intergal and the roundness of the handle.

Karl,
That is a beauty.  I love the combination.

That is beautiful Karl.

I know you had to sand the mammoth ivory flush with the handle.  Any worries about getting through the "aged" outer ivory and it getting a different color around the edges?

Dan

Dan, I file that down so everything stays flat.
It was only 1/8" thick and was the same color throughout.
The entire piece was the outer layer.

Thank you Karl.  I didn't know if the color was only skin deep.  
You have such a nice fit on your inlays. An inlay tutorial would be cool!
Dan

It's pretty crazy simple.
Except that I DO use my bench top mill.
If you have a Dremel you can do it!
Create the inlay itself.
Then, lay it on the handle and scribe around it.
Use a 1/8" end mill in the Dremel and remove most of the material inside the scribe line, which is what I use the mill for.
Leave maybe .050" to the line, then use a small 1/4" sanding drum in the Dremel to remove the remainder of the material up to the line!.
Done.
Epoxy in place. File flat.
Practice on unimportant pieces of material first.  
You can do it, Dan. I know you can.
Wear GOOD magnification.

I have allready done several inlays, and yes, I can do it.  But I didn't know if you knew any tricks I didn't know.
I'll say it again, your inlays look GREAT, nice fitting!
Thanks, Dan

No real "tricks" - just go slow and take your time.

Karl, I believe you will not have a problem finding a home for this knife. Knifemaker
