Default Ivory or bone ?

I have handled a lot of these over the years and own quite a few now. I have never seen one with ivory on the hilt they are always horn / bone. To me they are everyday working knives not status pieces so are unlikely to be dressed in expensive ivory. I am not saying that an ivory grip does not exist, just that it would be on a much more impressive knife.

Regards
Roy
