As not to hijack the previous oosik thread, thought I'd resurrect this one. Here's a few hastily taken shots of mine, with it's tusk stand. Was purchased off Gunbroker of all places. 23 3/8" long, so a little above average length. I was truly amazed, at the density, and weight.

Oosik, is highly prized by knife makers for handle material. Especially for hunting knives. When your hands get bloody, it actually gets sticky, not slippery.

A guy at a local gunshow, said he had seen one that had been broken, and HEALED! OUCH!!!
