I just received this piece today from the ole dawg. Thought you all might like to have a peek at it. Handle material is mammoth ivory and the blade is a ground finish on CPM 440V.

Christmas present huh John? And a danged nice one at that. Love the handles and am thinking a guy could do some serious whittling with it as well as opening letters and such at the desk.

Good looking letter opener there John!

Great looking...that should get the job done!

It can open the mail, carve wood & peel veggies too.
