Santa Fe Stoneworks ~ Woolly Mammoth Tusk ~ Sanmai Damascus

 
The Santa Fe Stoneworks DM160-TUSK 251170 is a 3-inch lockback folding knife featuring a Japanese Damascus steel blade and a handle inlaid with fossilized woolly mammoth tusk. Handcrafted in Santa Fe, New Mexico, each piece is unique due to the natural variations in the 15,000-year-old mammoth ivory.
 
Blade and Construction
The knife's performance is defined by its specialized Japanese steel and compact lockback design. 
  • Blade Material: According to santafestoneworks.com, the blade uses "Sanmai Damascus" (Sandwich Damascus) from Japan. It features a high-performance VG-10 steel core flanked by 16 layers of stainless steel on each side, totaling 33 layers for a rust-free, dramatic appearance.
  • Dimensions: The knife measures 3 inches when closed and features a 2 1/4-inch blade.
  • Lock Mechanism: It utilizes a traditional lockback mechanism for secure use. 
 
Handle Materials
The standout feature of this model is the use of rare, prehistoric materials for the handle inlay. 
  • Woolly Mammoth Tusk: The handle is inlaid with fossilized tusk from woolly mammoths that lived approximately 15,000 to 40,000 years ago.
  • Material Origin: These tusks are typically sourced from the North Sea in northern Europe or Siberia.
  • Color Variations: Due to thousands of years of mineralization, the tusk may exhibit unique hues ranging from white and tan to deep mocha brown or blue.
  • Single-Sided Design: Note that this specific lockback version often features the inlay on the front side with a Birch wood back. 
 
Craftsmanship and Origin
  • Handmade in the USA: Every knife is hand-fitted and finished at the Santa Fe Stoneworks studio in New Mexico.
  • One-of-a-Kind: Because the mammoth tusk is a natural fossil, no two knives share the exact same pattern or color.
