Mammoth tusk
Mammoth tusks: ancient beauty for creating modern masterpieces
Mammoth tusks are a unique natural material that combines the spirit of antiquity with the power of the Ice Age. These massive curved tusks, which once served mammoths for protection and hunting, have now become an indispensable material for creativity and the production of unique products. Thanks to their durability and expressive pattern, tusks are ideal for making exclusive knife handles, decorative inserts, and jewelry
Origin and unique features of mammoth tusks
The tusks could reach several meters in length and weigh dozens of kilograms. Tusks are mainly mined in Siberia, as well as in Alaska and northern swamps, where they acquire rich brown and golden hues. Unlike the tusks of modern elephants, mammoth tusks have a characteristic mesh pattern. This unique natural pattern cannot be faked. The pattern emphasizes the natural beauty and uniqueness of the material.
Choosing material for different tasks: classification of tusks
We offer tusks of different grades:
First grade
No cracks, with a bright, deep color. Suitable for the most sophisticated projects.
Second grade
With minor defects that do not affect strength. Perfect for the production of medium-complexity products.
Third grade
With obvious cracks and damage, requires careful stabilization. Ideal for creative experiments and decorative crafts.
This approach allows everyone to choose the best option for any project: from exclusive original works to artistic products.
Stabilization is the key to durability
Ivory is a capricious material that quickly loses its properties when exposed to moisture and temperature changes without special treatment. We use multi-stage stabilization: chemical cleaning, polymer impregnation, and epoxy resin filling. This completely eliminates cracking, enhances mechanical properties, and preserves the natural structure of the material. Thanks to stabilization, your products will serve you for a long time, retaining their aesthetic beauty and durability.

Mammoth tooth
The splendor of mammoth teeth: how antiquity comes to life in your hands
Mammoth teeth are not just fossils, they are pieces of ancient history that can end up in your hands. Each mammoth had six replaceable teeth that were renewed as they wore down. After all, the diet of these giants consisted of coarse grassy food that required a powerful chewing apparatus. Modern archaeologists find both individual teeth and entire jaws. Sometimes such finds weigh up to 15 kg. Previously, they were considered only scientific artifacts, but thanks to modern stabilization methods, mammoth teeth have become a valuable material for creativity and collecting.
From artifact to treasure: where beauty is born
Teeth found in the permafrost of Siberia are distinguished by their snow-white or cream color. At the same time, specimens recovered from the bottom of rivers or swamps have a deep brown or golden color. Without proper treatment, teeth quickly deteriorate when exposed to air. We cover whole teeth with a protective varnish and also make blanks for creating various products. To do this, we use modern stabilization techniques: vacuum impregnation with polymers, drying in special chambers, and subsequent polishing. This allows us to preserve the natural beauty of the material and increase its strength.
Blank pieces for original projects: what we offer
After stabilization, mammoth teeth are cut into different types of blank pieces:
- Block size 5.11-1.77-1.1 inch (130×45×28 mm). Used for mounting knife handles, inserts in pens, and other products.
- Pair scales size 5.11-1.77-0.39 or 3.54-1.18-0.27 inch (130×45×10 mm or 90×30×7 mm). Used for mounting knife handles (full-size or pocket).
- Full-size saw cuts size 0.39-0.47 inch (10–12 mm) thick. Used to create decorative elements or for non-standard projects.
- Custom-made blanks. We can select the size, shape, and color scheme, including composite materials that combine several shades at once.
Unlimited application possibilities: from knives to jewelry
Mammoth teeth are used to make luxurious handles for fixed and folding knives, giving them the status of collector's items. They are also used to create designer pens and pencils that are pleasant to hold and show to friends. Jewellers inlay rings, cufflinks, pendants, brooches and necklaces with carved elements made from mammoth teeth.
Decorators and furniture makers create exclusive inlays for furniture, such as carved fronts, table tops, cabinet handles and chests of drawers. Bone artists create miniature sculptures, carved panels, amulets, and souvenirs from stabilized material, which become not just decorations, but true repositories of ancient energy. Even automotive craftsmen use mammoth teeth to make inserts for luxury car interiors.

Whale vertebra
Whale vertebrae – a unique material for connoisseurs of rare forms
Whale vertebrae are not just a rare exotic material. They are a natural artifact that combines ancient history with the possibilities of modern art. Found on the coasts of Chukotka and the northern seas, elements of the skeleton of marine mammals become truly valuable raw materials for creating knife handles, decorative items, jewelry, and collectibles.
The porous structure of the bone helps the whale maintain buoyancy. It is thanks to this lightness combined with high strength that this material has become particularly attractive to various craftsmen. At the same time, each blank has a unique pattern, color, and texture, which allows you to create truly unique items.
Whale vertebra: the power of the ocean in your hands
Vertebra bone is a rather capricious material that requires certain knowledge and precision in processing. Given the presence of open pores and air cavities, after creating any product from a whale vertebra, additional processing may be required: filling with epoxy resin, re-sanding, and polishing. However, it is this process that allows the craftsman to express themselves to the fullest, as well as emphasize the natural pattern, play with irregularities, and turn each element into a work of art.
When creating products from whale vertebrae, we use modern stabilization technology: vacuum polymerization, impregnation with special compounds, and drying in conditions that prevent deformation. This allows us to guarantee the strength, stability, and durability of the material and products made from it, even under intensive use.

Our catalog features a range of stabilized whale vertebra blanks:
Bars for creating knife handles with a saddle mount.Blanks that are ideal for creating overlay handles, including for folding knives.Custom cuts and non-standard shapes for decorative projects and carving.Non-standard size blanks for individual orders.

Karelian Birch: Living Texture of Nature
Karelian birch is one of the rarest and most valuable wood materials in the world. Its unique burl texture with fancy curls, waves and spots gives each product a unique character and aesthetic value. This wood is mined in the northern regions of Russia and Scandinavia. But only a small part of the trees has a burl pattern, which significantly increases the value and rarity of Karelian birch.
Karelian Birch: An Ideal Choice for Creating Unique Products
Karelian birch is famous not only for its beauty, but also for its high strength. The wood is quite dense, which makes it resistant to mechanical stress and wear. Thanks to its natural texture and a fairly wide range of colors: from light yellow to deep brown tones with reddish hues, products made from Karelian birch look elegant and expensive. The material also has natural moisture resistance, which is especially important for products that are exposed to environmental influences.
Stabilization and wide application possibilities of Karelian birch: from knife handles to exclusive souvenirs
The material is used in a wide variety of areas:
• To create designer knife handles, where aesthetics and reliability are important. • To make exclusive boxes and decorative elements for furniture. • When performing wood carving and turning work. • To create designer pens and pencils.In the production of decorative elements for jewelry and souvenirs.
Modern stabilization methods can increase the strength and resistance of wood to moisture and temperature changes, which significantly expands the possibilities of its use in difficult operating conditions.
To make the material last longer and retain its natural appearance, we use complex stabilization. It includes vacuum impregnation with polymers, drying and polishing. These technologies not only protect the wood from destruction, but also give it additional shine and depth of texture, which makes the products even more attractive and durable.
