Mammoth Tooth Bowie Mammoth Tooth Bowie

This is probably the best of my knives so far. It was cut from a billet made by Alabama Damascus, 416 layers of the best steels -- 52100 and high nickel steels like 203E and 15N20. Quenched three times and tempered at 350F. The fossil material is slices of woolly mammoth tooth I bought from Miles Martin in Alaska. I had put off for months cutting the mammoth tooth pieces for fear I'd make something I didn't like later or ruin them.... and I'm very happy with this now that I've finally done it.

It is 9 3/4" overall length, with a 5" blade. This is a shadow box knife, though it's as hard and tough as any working knife. It comes with a sheath that hasn't been designed yet.


Does this project inspire you? I'm going to do a project like this!
