That’s a good price for Elmax. I got a quote recently for a sheet , way more expensive than other steels , I know as use them too. But if you want a steel that will hold an edge, specifically where deer or plains game are concerned, you won’t beat it.

Compared to probably most popular steel in UK - Aeb-l, Elmax is around 3 times more expensive, 35/kg to 110/kg. Maybe your supplier offers a better prices for Elmax, I took data from Gfs. That's definitely a better steel than Aeb-l or even cheeper sf100, if we talking about edge retention and I'm not saying that, coz those 2 knives in this post are made from Elmax - that's still the cheapest steel I'm using for my projects.

You are right, as I remember it's to prevent elephant ivory laundering. Simply real ivory has been listed as legal to trade mammoth ivory or even bovine bone , that's what act been extended, but you don't have to be a specialist to see those 2 are completely different. Tooth /molar, bones of mammoth are still ok.

That the one with the Mammoth is absolutely beautiful. I'd love to own it, but I'd be too afraid to use it!

Yes, about three times more expensive, sometimes more , just depends on the mill price at a given time as it fluctuates. As I say, knives you have here represent great value for such a great steel.

Thank you for your comment yesterday, I must say that bumped up my post and coused some traffic and reactions. Usually nothing is going on under my listings - the reason is my "high popularity"
I'm waiting for your work made from Vanax, another great steel.

Thank you for appreciating my work. Isn't it nicer to work with something that looks as good as it cuts?
Regards,
Piotr
