Hilt is solid, where the blade enters it. There are growth rings visible. No open pores, or straight grain, like you see in bone. I don't know the origin of the blade. Looks like it was heavily pitted, before being fitted to the handle. PNW was just a guess, way out of my area. The hilt is however, ivory, not plastic, not bone.
