VICTORINOX MAMMOTH IVORY EXECUTIVE 11 - Special Edition - USD 164.99
These knives are custom made with Prehistoric Mammoth Tusk. The Wooly Mammoth roamed the Earth over 125,000 years ago, resembling modern-day elephants. They had shaggy coats and long curved tusks. Now extinct, their remains are unearthed in the northern hemisphere with their long tusks intact. Over the years the ivory takes on a variety of colors including tans and grays which give the ivory a very unique grain. Scarce and difficult to work with as it is hard and brittle. This means that there will be flaws, such as cracking, for example. This is completely normal and is simply part of the character of the material. The weight and exact shape of the knife will vary considerably between knives to accommodate this characteristic. Very Limited Edition from Victorinox, each knife comes in a felt bag in a silver Victorinox box.
