Any other vintage collectors of Parkers, American Blade, Taylor, United Boker, Frost, or STAR collectors out there?

Those ivory handled knives are surely special and very much admired! Let's hope the USFWS ruling on ivory can be overturned. Poaching is stopped by conservation funds spent in the area where ivory grows. Hunting permits fund the game wardens that chase the poachers, so I read. There is a lot of ivory in the states that is currently regulated, by authorization from the white house to the USFWS, including importing other hunting trophies taken in foreign lands.
