Mammoth Ivory

Mammoth ivory is a rare and ancient material, divided into two parts: the inner core and the outer crust of the tusk. The inner core, often simply referred to as "mammoth ivory," is prized for its density and fine grain, making it ideal for detailed, intricate craftsmanship. Its smooth texture allows artisans to create precision pieces with a refined and polished finish. The crust, the outer layer of the tusk, carries a rugged beauty shaped by thousands of years of exposure to the elements, giving it unique character and texture.

Handles made from fossilized mammoth ivory, whether from the core or the crust, are sourced from the remains of woolly mammoths that have been preserved in the permafrost for millennia. These creatures, which roamed the vast frozen plains of the Arctic during the Ice Age, have been extinct for tens of thousands of years. However, their tusks, uncovered from their frozen tombs, offer a tangible connection to prehistory, allowing artisans today to craft exceptional, one-of-a-kind pieces.
