This model uses two different handle scales. One handle scale is a combination of mammoth tusk, set in nickel silver strips and dark black jet (gemstone). The stone, mined in the southwest of the USA, is also known as »black amber«. The fossil tusks of the mammoth are obtained from permafrost soil or glacial ice. Due to thousands of years of storage in permafrost, the originally cream-coloured teeth have become individually discoloured. The other handle scale is made of dyed, stabilised birch wood.
