hilt for comment

Well honestly i don't like the first one very much. Perhaps it's the material as i have never liked the look of all the moose antler hilts that are coming out of this area of late. I actually prefer the look of deer antler. The staining of this hilt also has a forced aging look about it.
The carving on the ganesha is much nicer. Are you sure this is whale "ivory"? Is new whale ivory even legal in that area? It certainly would have trouble passing customs abroad.
