finally finished mammoth tooth folder

Hello Guys. It's been a while. I don't post much, but I listen in. I only finish a few knives each year because of other commitments, so I typically don't have much to show for myself. But today I finished one I've been working off-and-on for 4yrs. Took so long because every time I'd get in the ring with it I'd get my backside handed to me. I'm never working with mammoth tooth again. I don't care how good looking it is. he he. If you're wondering, the scales are pinned to the bolsters front and back with 1/16" dowel pins - two at each end. Thanks for looking.

2-3/8" Crucible S-30V blade, 61Rc
6a/4v titanium liners
316 ss bolsters
304 ss screws, standoffs, thumbstud
Mammoth tooth fossil scales
Mammoth tusk fossil thumbstud inlay
