The Mammoth Ivory Bark

The term "mammoth ivory bark" refers to the outer layer of a mammoth tusk, in contrast to mammoth ivory, which refers to the internal core of the tusk. Handles made from fossilized mammoth ivory bark are sourced from tusks discovered in permafrost, where they have been preserved for millennia.

Woolly, northern, or Siberian mammoths roamed the vast frozen plains of the Arctic for hundreds of thousands of years, leaving behind these fossilized treasures. Handles crafted from mammoth ivory bark exhibit a unique and refined appearance. Each handle showcases its own distinct texture and color variations, making every piece exceptional.
