Just two pieces, 4 3/4" x 1 1/4" x 3/8"

I either can't seem to get an answer, or companies won't ship outside U.S. Normally I'd use what I can get, or, improvise, but this is for a very special knife & I want the real McCoy.

Sizes above are minimum, elephant is what I actually need, but I'm willing to be convinced about alternatives.


Please help, although there is no real rush.


Thanks


Colin

Colin,

There is a company www.boonetrading.com/ (http://www.boonetrading.com/) that carries various ivories. They will not be able to send you elephant ivory because of the ban, but they carry mammoth and hippo ivory and they do ship outside the US.

Hope this helps,
Drac

P.S. if you want to see some of the mammoth ivory bark checkout JLoose site.

Colin, these people have chimed in with an advert or two. Have you tried them?
www.ivoryworksltd.com/default.htm (http://www.ivoryworksltd.com/default.htm)

When you find the right company let me know, I keep meaning to buy some nice ivory from the States. Not being able to walk up to a table at a show and pick up a piece is annoying...
