Here are some more images of Sperm whale teeth and one made into a small knife handle for a sgian dubh. The teeth in a Sperm what come in a great variety of sizes from the much larger back teeth generally used scrimshaw to small teeth in the front of the jaw.

Hello David,
no problem, the pictures you have shown speak for themselve and I was nearly sure by my first guess that it is a sperm whale tooth.
Best regards,
Detlef
