The elephant is from Roje and much firmer temper than the remnants I've inlayed from Springfield. The belt was a real bear to get a good edge on. Thoughts/critiques welcomed!

What kind of heartless idiot wears elephant hide these days? Probably has ivory grips on whatever death machine that he carries in it too! :no:

Before you start calling people names, you should have all the facts. Since the elephants will be legaly killed anyway would you prefer their hides to be left in a pile to rot. I see you use dead animalhides as well. As long as he is using legaly obtained hides what's the problem. The leather industry is not driving the killing of the elephants.

The source of all African elephant skins come from culls once the elephant heard reaches destructive numbers to African tribes and nature. It’s very similar to our deer season in the United States. Without culling, African tribes would loose their homes and possibly become trampled to death. Designers, manufactures, and leather enthusiasts should not feel emotional or have guilt for using this leather as we are not creating a demand rather using a by product. We deal with reputable international partners who abide by all regulations and we never sell poached hides.

I'm actually the customer and that was a tongue-in-cheek jab at Rob. Because it actually was for an ivory gripped pistol. Sorry about that, bad joke I reckon.
