Hi,

I would need better pics to be certain, but it definitely looks like elephant ivory. This pattern shows, because the piece is cut so it covers both the bark and core ivory of the tusk. Bark and core material often color differently with time, because of their slightly different composition.

- Beautful knife!

Cheers, Thor
