Sgian Dubh components, blades,etc.
The ivory is a degree of hardness greater than antler but stil workable with the tools I use for aluminum aircraft work. It's as hard as your teeth. The bayleen is like a very dense hardwood. Both are almost self polishing when you get down to some fine finishing grits and buffing.
