    When is ivory not ivory, when it’s elforyn, a German product made specifically to replicate ivory without the killing of elephants and the yellowing that ivory goes through over time.
    Used now every place that ivory used to be used, got some cheap, thought I would give it a whirl,!tossed it in a kydex sheath, intended as a very handy and capable neck knife, but could also throw a tec-lok and wear it on a belt, or on the straps of your pack.

    3mm O1 tool steel, heat treated and triple tempered in an oxygen free environment by me. Convex edge taken to 8000k on Japanese water stones, comes with copper pins. Large finger choil to get up a personal with whatever you are cutting.
    About to throw some Paracord on it for neck carry.

    Not a fan of choils normally but that one looks like a good comfortable design. Nice knife.

    It’s more of a finger groove than a true Choil, makes for a very secure grip, even with a wet hand.
