WIP The most EPIC kitchen knives ever! WIP

Beside from how awesome this is..... did I read that you made a toothpick with the ivory...?
I mean...now that's really cool!

 

You sent my heart a fluttering. That's the most beautiful toothpick I've ever seen.
I wonder how it will hold up to heavy use.

 

Alright , come on...how much for the toothpick? Maybe do an auction here.

 

Toothpick. The ivory is VERY durable. as a example. This piece is approx 6 to 8000 years old. For many of these years probably a few thousand or more. it was in the ocean and the waves finally brought it up to shore where it was found and eventually ended up at my shop. I say all of this... Because its too cool!!!! very durable and tough material.

I made a toothpick out of hippo ivory a few years ago. and I lost it in the move. But it was used often and looked BETTER a year after I made it then the day I finished it and started using it!

 

And the bidding starts at...

 

LOL. OK, OK. Ill throw it up on auction if there are a few people who might like it. Just hate to see a auction with 1 bidder. Sorta takes the fun right out of it

 

6,000 year old toothpick? are you kidding? If I don't have the first bid I will have the last.

 

LOL. OK. Ill try and figure out the software and post up a auction!!!!

 

It's easy peasy!

fast and furious bidding!

 

seems like you could make a business out of selling ivory toothpicks randy! that things gonna get expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I'm afraid so
But yay for Randy! Make about 20 more :like

 

Brad and Jason. The thing is. I dont have more of this material to make 20 or more. Then go into the walrus ivory toothpick making business! If I did have more. I would not waste it on tooth picks when there are knives to be made!!!!

As I said in a earlier post. Walrus tusk of this caliber. With this color, and depth of color, etc.. is "RARE" and if you can find some. Its VERY, and I mean VERY expensive. That makes this toothpick a very rare and expensive one of a kind custom item. hehehe ..


Thanks and God Bless!
Randy

 

Im glad to see the bidding has taken off. Although Im not surprised at all its getting bids. Its cool and fun!!!

I have had many people message me and ask if its for sale on FaceBook. Im steering them over to the Fora now.. So you guys may get some outsideer interference!!

I had one guy wanting a mammoth ivory toothpick. Beings Im not in the tooth pick making business. I told his sure. Ill be happy to make it for 100.00 and he didnt skip a beat and sent over the cash! lol Maybe I missed my calling?

 

Randy, what does that inner keratin piece look like polished? Is that porous or can that be used? Looks like you could make a pretty cool hidden tang with that alone.

 

More like multitasking Randy.

 

Soooo matching walrus whisker floss is out of the question? I'm quick on my toes, I bet I can pluck one and run like the dickens before it even wakes up.
