The biggest pain in the a** you'll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every morning.

Good judgment comes from experience, and most of that comes from bad judgment.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.

I've got a nice big piece of mammoth tusk [ 1/3 of the round that's 10 inches long and about 10" in circumference ] I've been trying to get a few knifemakers to use on one of my bowies for years. They won't touch it for fear of ruining the rest of the piece on me even though I told them to go for it, I'd be fine with one set of grips out of it.

Nice looking mammoth grips sir

brownie,
Check out www.danchinnock.com He makes great knives with mammoth grips all the time.. You may well be able to work a deal for your bowie grips in exchange for the remainder of the tusk piece. He is a solid gentleman and a great craftsman. Give him a call. Nothing to lose. You may know all of this already, but if not it may be worth pursuing. Dennis
