That's more than a knife,that's an elegant piece of art.I don't have any experience with ivory;is there any special TLC needed for those scales?

Nope, the elephant ivory is strong and stable. It still pays to be careful though. I just wash it down with soapy water and dry off. The steel is stainless and less prone to blemishes and rusting than carbon steel. I keep it fresh with some Renwax over the entire knife, every weekend.

Here's some pictures of my favourite knife. It was made by Alan Wood of Cumbria, England.

5" blade from twist damasteel and 9¾" overall length. The handle is elephant ivory held with slim red/black liners and gold pins. The bolster is 925 Sterling silver and has been engraved by Simon Lytton. Definitely a keeper which is why I decided on having my initials engraved. It has a brown leather belt sheath and I have carried and used it a few times, mainly for light cutting around the kitchen or hazel and blackthorn sticks. It's my favourite fixed blade and the Sebenza is my most used locker. Finally, an old James Barber ERA slippie is nearly always in my pocket, but it is swapped around sometimes with the Ray & Jeff Cover slippies.

I think it's time i once again disagreed with the crowd ::) I don't think that knife is that nice :-\ Typical of me i know! :D I appreciate the craftsmanship that has gone into it and in that sense it is a work of art but it doesn't scream BUY ME....to me at least :) But so long as you like it thats all that matters :)
