Product Description
A Spyderco scrimshaw knife with mammoth ivory, stone inlay, and hand engraving
This Spyderco scrimshaw knife pairs a Japanese-forged stainless steel blade with a mammoth ivory handle, inlaid with semi-precious stone and hand-engraved by Store Owner and Resident Artist Brian Kiracofe. It is a working knife from a respected maker, finished as a one-of-a-kind piece of maritime art.
The handle combines the warm, aged tone of mammoth ivory with a band of natural stone and metal inlay. Available combinations include green turquoise with Mohave copper, blue turquoise, and obsidian with bronze. Each is engraved by hand using the traditional scrimshaw method, so no two knives carry the same lines.
