    Wow, that looks amazing.

    Does the warthog tusk come from a pig you shot?

    No, I picked up an old skull with that tusk and a broken one.

    Nice knife TStone.

    Judging roughly from the knife laying on the jackal skin I'd say the handle to be around 125mm long from the guard to the pommel and the diameter to be around 25mm at the guard?

    If my dims are close then that was from a decently sized animal.

    Measured along the outer curve the handle measures 150mm. For our area which is very rocky, it was a pretty good tusk. Boars of that size, in our area have a live weight of 75 - 80kg although I shot one that weighed in at 105kg's.
