Knife Talk

Nothing fancy. More of a firearm fan but I must say steak tastes better with a well sharpened blade.

Went to the Durban Knife show in Umhlanga with @BigGuy today and I must say it was a little disappointing. But I did manage to get two beauties. One with a Warthog tusk handle and the other with Elephant Ivory handle! I was very surprised to find real ivory but as I learnt there is some legal trade in ivory in SA and this handle came from a batch of ivory from Kruger National Park!

Very nice. But personally i wont buy any product with elephant tusks, legal or not
 
If it's legal I would buy it. They do need to cull elephant's in the park to keep population optimal, so the funds go to conservation and anti poaching initiatives.
 
I scored two knives with ivory handles! And a Strop to sharpen them with!
