Description
Two ounces. That number decides everything else about this knife. At two ounces on a cord under a shirt you forget it is there, and forgetting is the only reason anyone carries a blade this small every single day instead of leaving it in a drawer.

Built for: the small stuff you actually do. Cardboard, packing tape, zip ties, fishing line, a stubborn blister pack, the string on a feed sack. This is a tool for a hundred one-second jobs, not for one hard job.
Mammoth tooth is not a marketing word
The handle material is fossilized mammoth tooth: dentine and enamel laid down in bands, buried for thousands of years, mineralized by whatever ground it sat in. That is where the color comes from. Every slab differs, and the banding on yours will not match the photograph, because it cannot. The material is also softer and more porous than bone, and it dislikes extremes. Dry heat opens hairline cracks along the bands, so a hot dashboard through a summer is genuinely bad for it. Room temperature and regular handling are all it asks.
Honest limits
An inch and a half of edge cannot do much. It will not process game, it will not baton, and the short grip puts your fingers close to the work whenever force is involved. Think of it as a scalpel you happen to own rather than as a survival tool. Buyers who expect a miniature hunting knife are disappointed; buyers replacing the keychain blade they keep losing are not.
Care
Because it lives against your body, sweat is the enemy rather than rain. Salt from skin pits carbon steel faster than anything you will ever cut with it. Take the knife off its cord once a week, clean the blade and the inside of the sheath, and let both breathe overnight. One drop of oil on a rag is plenty at this scale. Sharpen on a ceramic rod or the fine face of a small pocket stone, since a full-size bench stone is awkward on an edge this short and it is easy to round the tip.
FAQs
What is it like next to a normal pocket knife? Far smaller. A three-inch-blade folder such as the Megatron pocket knife does twice the work and takes ten times the room in a pocket.
Is this a serious knife or a novelty? Serious, within its size. To see the other extreme from the same forge, look at the Onyx Crane Damascus katana.
Should I wear it or pocket it? Either works. Our EDC knife guide covers the trade-offs between the two.

Great quality, my husband loved it! However the note I wrote out for him to read when he opened it wasn’t placed in the box. I was pretty disappointed about that.

Purchased this knife in my quest to find an heirloom quality knife that could be carried in my front pants pocket,being a collector, I have a lot of knives,I carry a skele tool on my belt for the handy pliers and screwdriver,too much weight and pulls my pants down,or have to wear belt too tight,so weight is primary concern,don’t get me wrong there is solid “heft” to this knife but not overly heavy have had Texas toothpick,wears a hole in pocket,my little buck two blade has been good but hard to keep an edge and the old timers and case folders everyone has ,wanted something different,this is what I was looking for!now to the knife,what a awesome piece,one of the nicest I have ever seen, from the scroll work on the back edge,to the beautiful steel,it is truly a piece of art,is it really 150,000 year old woolly mammoth tooth,tusk,or bone handle?sounds not too likely but you never know,by the sheer beauty,I will take their word for it!thats what I am telling anyone who asks anyway,will keep posted on the longevity of holding an edge,but I don’t think that will be an issue,if you are looking for a small quality knife you ca n brag on and show off,you won’t be disappointed!everyone that has seen it has been impressed
Once again seeing is believing on how nice this piece really is,so to finish”WOW”
