Welcome to the forum.
From your name I guess I can assume you made these grips? Do you sell them? Website?
A little info could help.
By the way, those are beautiful.

Very nice work! I hear mammoth ivory is getting tougher to find. A set of those would look great next to my mammoth ivory handled knife. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I don't know from where I set after a closer look those grips look more like Blond Stag to me.[but I could be wrong]. The upper left grip looks indicative of Stag. but there yours you should know! what ever they are I want a set.....................................M*

Oh, my, my, my...
Idle curiosity, as I have no money at all, but do you also make knife scales of the stuff?

Some of the best looking grips I've seen. My friend uses Mammoth Ivory for his black powder rifles. It really dresses them up.

Awesome. I get real sentimental about ivory grips, seeing as how our kids will most likely see the extinction of the pachyderms. I know extinction is just the way of the world but not the way they're going out now. And yeah, I know mammoths have nothing to do with elephant poaching.
OP, where does one acquire mammoth ivory? I'd love to read an account of your production of a set of stocks as I'm sure there are unique engineering challenges to be overcome.

Very nice! I know a couple of knife makers that use mammoth Ivory for their knife handles. One of them also uses mastodon Ivory but I understand that it is rather tricky to stabilize due to the lack of a bark layer.
