Check out the color on this mammoth tusk I grabbed a while back from @kiranskoa . I can't wait to cut into this one! #rarematerial #mammothivory #handlematerial #knifemaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CkRahuYgE-v/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check out the figure on this piece of curly Siamese rosewood from @kiranskoa , this stuff has some of the tightest curls that I have come across in any species along with a very unique orange tone. #banzelcroftcustoms #rarematerial #exoticwood https://www.instagram.com/p/CgF4IC7Apv3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Out of all the butterscotch micarta I've come across this piece of Westinghouse paper from @hawksnestcustoms is probably the most stunning. Just look at how bright it is. #banzelcroftcustoms #westinghousemicarta #papermicarta #vintagemicarta #rarematerial #vintagematerial https://www.instagram.com/p/CdZgGmHszk3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check out this mammoth ivory from @xoticblanks that I picked up a while back, I'll be cutting into this one to make something for #bladeshow2022 #banzelcroftcustoms #mammothivory #rarematerial #handlematerial #knifemaker #customknife #edcknife https://www.instagram.com/p/CdMio8XAmqE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Check out the pattern on this vintage micarta from Russia, it's about halfway between canvas and burlap. Definitely unlike anything else I've come across. #banzelcroftcustoms #vintagemicarta #uniquemicarta #rarematerial #canvasmicarta #burlapmicarta #knifemaker https://www.instagram.com/p/CY7r1WUKZna/?utm_medium=tumblr
