GG1729 - Officer/Compact Heavy Blue Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips & Knife

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Russia, Siberia

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  Heavy blue Mammoth gives these grips a radical & ancient look that will turn heads.  Also, these come with a very cool flipper knife that lets you show off your Mammoth ivory without bringing a pistol everywhere.

Need to mention 1st that these have a very high gloss creating the white reflections in my pictures.   Highly book matched, the caramel ivory is very rich and authentic and while not showing well in the pictures, the veining is actually a blue.  With the bold bark lines, this set will pop off of any color pistol.  You can have a lot of fun showing off these.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.

GG1718 - Book Matched Crackle Bark On White Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Also, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, beveled, and notched if desired.

COMMENTS:  These are totally smooth & with a high gloss.  They are perfect in every way and are well suited for the range, daily carry, or as a set on a presentation pistol.  When people see these they often reach out with one finger and pet the ivory like they are touching a butterfly (yes they are that cool). A rare set with perfectly book matched panels where the crackle lines run just along the surface.  One of the most pure representations of "Mammoth Bark Ivory".  Cool Mammoth Ivory when you want to show someone why Mammoth ivory is special.  These came from the same tusk as GG1721 and they will be very durable.  Like many years after you and I are gone.

Carry, shoot, safe Queen, Barbeque.  They work at all these levels.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.    If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

GG1717 - Book Matched Crimson Bark Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  I would not recommend beveling the heel since it would remove the bark pattern and be all white.

COMMENTS:  I have had these in my collection since I 1st started building ivory grips.  The deep red came from the gold found in the soil with the ivory.  So I always felt they had a certain warmth to them and never wanted to sell.  They must be at least 15 years old, but are still in mint condition and so they will be super durable and fine for all types of full size 1911's.  Click on the picture to see them on both my black and stainless pistols.  They really add "pop" to my pistols and they will do the same on yours

GG1716 - Case Colored Engraved Tanto Knife with Matching White Crackle Mammoth ivory  1911 grips.

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock & Bobby Tyler

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS: I love this pattern on Mammoth ivory and I was fortunate to have a single piece of tusk for both the grips and knife.  Having both pieces keeping white ivory at the head and the toe creates a dramatic effect.  The brilliant blue and bronze case coloring came out perfect on the blade and the engraved bolsters definitely kicks it up a notch.  This took years to bring together and, now partially retired, I don't expect I will try another at this level of detail. 

Click on the picture to see other views of the knife and grips.  Blade is 4 inches long, overall length is 9 inches, scales are book matched and silver pinned.  Comes with a leather sheath & suede lined pouch for long term storage.  Grips and knife will ship immediately to their new home.

GG1715 - Officer/Compact Caramel With Blue Mammoth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Russia, Siberia

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  Need to mention 1st that these have a very high gloss creating the white reflections in my pictures.   Highly book matched, the caramel ivory is very rich and authentic and while not showing up in the pictures, the veining is actually a dark blue.  I made sure that no bark lines went all the way through and so it is going to be a very durable set that will not break under range or daily carry.  With the bold bark lines, this set will pop off of any color pistol.  You can have a lot of fun showing and shooting these.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols. 

GG1714 - Ancient White Mammoth Ivory With Touches Of Bark  1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimber, Springfield, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Heel beveled & MSH pin notched.

COMMENTS: Another set of classic Ancient ivory with just some light bark in between the bushing holes.  The "white" ivory has some great color depth letting you see the growth rings at the heels of each panel.  Letting everyone know that these grips truly come from the great Wooly Mammoth that roamed during the last ice age.  Will be very durable and will work well for both daily carry or the range.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing File in the main menu to see how it works!)

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, MSH pin notch, and/or beveled heel.

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.   This is a fun set where  Mother Nature took thousands of years to create vertical lines in the ivory and the soil must have had sufficient iron in it to turn these areas blue.  Great contrast between the ancient cream ivory and the blue vertical veins.   Book matching gives them that extra kick in value.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.

GG1705 - Cream Mammoth Tooth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

Ivory: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones.

MODIFICATIONS: N/A  Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Nice set of Mammoth Tooth with white enamel and rich cream dentine (as it formed 10,000 years ago.)  Due to the complicated inlay process of Tooth into G10, I only do 1-2 pair of these a year.  It's not fun!  Add pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my different pistols.  The black bezel further enhances the dramatic effect on black pistols.  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into aluminum. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  

Nice set of light cream grips with the classic crackel lines seen in Mammoth ivory.  Already beveled and notched, these are ready for the range or on your daily carry.  These will be a very durable set.

Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  Love the look on my Kimber CDP

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look yourself, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Very cool and rich blue color that really jumped when I polished them.  Flawless condition, these are going to look great on any color pistol.  Adds pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Woolly Mammoths. 

Woolly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years.  Even more, over a few years, these grips will begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take awhile, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

COMMENTS: Here is another opportunity to own a matching set of ivory grips and "your emergency backup" knife that has matching ivory, is razor sharp and ready to go to work if needed.  I really like the new knife sheath where the belt loop swivels at a single point.  This allows the knife to swing out of the way when sitting down.  Both grips and knife will be very durable & will be a great investment since a matched set is seldom built due to difficulty in achieving a "match".  Don't forget to click on the picture to see other views of these grips and knife.

COMMENTS: Classic Mammoth look & price makes these a great investment. Vertical bark lines run just below the surface making them a very solid and durable set.  They just make a dark pistol pop and will do well at gun shows or the next barbeque.  The nice warm buttery feel may have your friend trying to walk off with your pistol.  If someone is unfamiliar with Mammoth ivory, have them see and hold these and it will be instantly clear why this type of ivory is always in high demand.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.  Great for the range.  I coin this type as "lifers" since they will likely outlast you:)

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look yourself, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Ivory Polishing File in the main menu to see how it works and how to buy them!)  Note: These files also seal the pores in ivory.  Protecting them from stains and discoloration!

IVORY: Man-made

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk Custom, Cabot Guns, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: N/A

COMMENTS: These type of grips can only be found here  For a very long time I have wanted to offer my customers a white checkered grip that was a perfect alternative to real ivory and here it is.  These grips have fooled several law enforcement officials whose job is to enforce laws on Elephant ivory trade.  Fine layers of white and cream colored material have been layered dozens of times to simulate the schreger lines of real ivory. 

A special checkering, known as skip-line, creates dozens of small diamonds like the large double diamonds that appear at the bushing holes.  Both the large and small diamonds are highly polished to create "moving" reflections similar to when viewing a real diamond ring.  All of this results in a very sophisticated and elegant look for any of your 1911 pistols.  Click on the picture above to see multiple views of these grips on my pistol.  You will see some of these tiny diamonds reflecting the light and creating a very cool & one-of-a-kind look.  There are only 2 of these built and are labeled "proto types" on the back side.  Do not forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my pistol.

COMMENTS: People are often curious as to why Mammoth ivory is often called Mammoth Bark.  Also, I often say that I do not really know what colors or patterns will be found in the ivory until I start shaping and sanding the ivory.  HERE IS A PICTURE OF SOME RAW IVORY BEFORE I START SANDING AND SHAPING IT.  KIND OF LOOKS LIKE TREE BARK DOESN'T IT?  When I took this picture, I didn't have a clue what the final ivory grips would look like.  See the grips below vvvv  (GG1412)

GG1412 - Officer/Compact Heavy Bark On White Mammoth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Russia, Siberia

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips. This set was the yield from the raw Bark ivory just above this GG1412 listing.  Highly book matched, the white ivory is very rich and authentic.  I made sure that no bark lines went all the way through and so it is going to be a very durable set that will not break under range or daily carry.  With the bold bark lines, this set will pop off of any color pistol, but naturally the maximum effect will be on a dark pistol.  You can have a lot of fun showing and shooting these.  Major "pop" on a dark pistol!  Click on the pic!

GG1386 - Fillet Knife in Stainless Steel and Blue Weaved Carbon Fiber

MAKER:  Dan Chinnock
BLADE SIZE:  7" 
OAL:  12" 
BLADE: CPM154 steel
HANDLE: Carbon Fiber in blue & black weave.
BOLSTERS: Nickel Silver
COMMENTS:   2022 new knife design that has been tested in Canada for 8 days by 5 very experienced fisherman.  And it performed well!  Knife is soft in the hand, but the heavy curve in the bolster protects the hand from slipping onto the blade.  Custom carbon fiber handle & stainless steel blade allows it to work in wet conditions without worry of damaging or warping.  Water proof adhesive glue and silver pins prevents water from coming between the scales and the steel handle.  Ample flex at the tip for going around bones when piercing the flesh.  Much stiffer near the handle for when pressure is needed during long cuts for those perfect fillets.  Primary testing was performed on Walleye around 18 inches.  Comes with a water proof sheath.  Only thing left for me to do is etch my name on the blade.  Totally fun for me to try something totally new!!

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Flawless set of Mammoth Tooth with rare cream enamel and rich chocolates (as it formed 10,000 years ago.)  Due to the complicated inlay process of Tooth into aluminum I only do 2-3 pair of these a year.  It's not fun!  Add pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my different pistols.  The silver bezel further enhances the dramatic effect on black pistols.  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into aluminum. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

GG1314 - Classic Bark High Gloss Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimber, Springfield, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Heel beveled & MSH pin notched.

COMMENTS: Classic Mammoth look & price makes these a great investment. Vertical bark lines run just below the surface making them a very solid and durable set.  They just make a dark pistol pop and will do well at gun shows or the next barbeque.  The nice warm buttery feel may have your friend trying to walk off with your pistol.  If someone is unfamiliar with Mammoth ivory, have them see and hold these and it will be instantly clear why this type of ivory is always in high demand.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.  Great for the range.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look yourself, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Ivory Polishing File in the main menu to see how it works and how to buy them!)  Note: These files also seal the pores in ivory.  Protecting them from stains and discoloration!

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Would not recommend beveling the heel since it would remove all of the blue in that area.

COMMENTS:  Classic blue Mammoth saturated across both panels.  Whites on the outer edges, and brown bark ticking create a nice framing effect.  Flawless ivory that will last many years and hold its value.  Great example of what can happen when ivory is entombed in soil containing raw iron and then wait 3000 years. Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.

GG1311 - Black Smoke & Honey Oak from my shop - 1911 full size grips

Wood:  Dan's Homestead

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro.  Traditional Mainspring Housing Pin notch and bevel on the heel.

COMMENTS:  I gave these a hardened gloss finish to bring clarity and 3-dimensional movement to these grips.  Be sure to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  The gloss finish was really hard to kill all of the reflections during picture taking.  I will be sure to include a polishing file so the owner can choose from a satin or gloss like finish (and change it back at a later day)

As some of you know, in 2013 a storm took down a 100 year old Oak tree that could have fallen on me in my shop or lucky for me, fell in the opposite direction.  Inspection of the aftermath revealed some interesting wood for grips.  As such, I built a few grips from this extraordinary wood.  The rippled burled black offers a nice contrast to the honey eyed burl above.  Fully signed for those who are building a collection.  These have a Cerakote type finish making them very durable and a finish that looks like liquid glass.

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  All natural, this Mammoth Molar came straight out of the ground with these natural colors.  Found along the border of China and Russia, the red clay soil gave this molar the red found in the dentine.

Click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  Adds pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Woolly Mammoths. 

Woolly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient.

GG1299 Vivianite Tri-color Blue Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES:  Nighthawk Custom, Ed  Brown, Colt, Kimber, Springfield, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Would not recommend beveling the heel since it would remove all of the blue in that area.

COMMENTS:  There has to be at least 3 different colors of blue.  The light (baby blue) blue is the hardest one to catch since it is often a very thin transition layer.  As the ivory goes thru its chemical reaction with the iron in the soil it often blows right thru this color and so the blues are often much darker.  These grips have all shades of blue.  I worked these down by hand over a 3 month period to capture all the blues and book matching between the 2 panels.  After creating the proper curvature on the surface I then, and only then, drilled the holes, flattened the back side of each panel and then continued working until the proper thickness was achieved.  It's totally backwards, and counterintuitive, but necessary to achieve this final outcome.  At Christmas time I try to create and offer what I believe "the" perfect set and these are it for 2021.  Thanks for looking.  Just below the surface is clean solid cream ivory.  So they will be durable, stable and last a lifetime.  They will come with my aluminum GripLocks to make certain they stay perfect in any climate.

If you love blue, this is one of the best representations.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on 1 of my pistols.

COMMENTS:  Classic blue Mammoth saturated across both panels.  This is a Viviante blue where it looks very dark blue with indoor lighting and more brilliant in outdoor lighting.    Great example of what can happen when ivory is entombed in soil containing raw iron and then wait 10,000+ years. Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols. The colors are more true in the pistol picture.

Mammoth found in: Siberia - Russia

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Very cool blue grey in color that really popped when I polished them.  Flawless condition, these are going to look great on any color pistol.  You are likely to never have seen "tooth" in these colors.  I know I haven't.  Click on the picture to see them on my stainless & black pistols.  Adds pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Woolly Mammoths. 

Woolly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years.  Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take awhile, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Ivory Polishing File in the main menu to see how it works and how to buy them!)  Note: These files also seal the pores in ivory.  Protecting them from stains and discoloration!

GG1269  Tri-Color  Mammoth Tooth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

Mammoth found in: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Set of Mammoth Tooth that reminds me of Rattlesnake skin.  Very cool set.  Flawless condition, these are going to look great on any color pistol.  You are likely to never have seen "tooth" in these colors.  I know I haven't.  Click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  Adds pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Woolly Mammoths. 

Woolly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years.  Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

GG1268 - Bark Flames Leap from Heel - Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bevel heel, or notch Mainspring Housing pin.

COMMENTS:  This look is a favorite of dealers and manufacturers. Bold bark lines on white ivory creates a dramatic look on dark pistols. The bark lines start out heavy on the heel and then move up thinner to create an almost flame like appearance.   These vertical bark lines run just along the surface and so these will be a very durable set whether its for the range or for a daily carry.  A classic example of what Mother Nature can do to ivory if given a few thousand years.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they make my Ed Brown pop.  These will make any pistol look like a one-of-a-kind heirloom piece of functional art.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look yourself, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

GG1256 - Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrel Pen and 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

Material: 10 year Bourbon Barrel Stave

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk Custom, Cabot Guns, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: n/a

COMMENTS:  One of the most unique, challenging, and fun set of grips I have built to date.  I have been a bourbon drinker for over 30 years, but only recently felt the pull to combine my talent for building grips with my talent for drinking bourbon(LOL).  Bourbon barrels are built from white oak, but the aging process expands and contracts the wood dramatically over the years and so the wood has to be treated differently.  The true challenge comes in maintaining the charred surface and keep the grips stable.  The pen is a take off of the old saying "The pen is mightier than the sword".  My take is to start with the Bourbon, then the pen.  If those 2 fail, pull out the 1911 and show them the pretty grips!

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Flawless set of Mammoth Tooth with rare white enamel and rich chocolates (as it formed 10,000 years ago.)  Due to the complicated inlay process of Tooth into aluminum I only do 2-3 pair of these a year.  It's not fun!  Add pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my different pistols.  The silver bezel further enhances the dramatic effect on black pistols.  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into aluminum. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for ambidextrous safety, heel beveled, notch for Mainspring Housing Pin.

COMMENTS: Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.   

I love the colors in these grips!  It seems that mother nature took 10,000+ years to create minute ticking of every color found in Mammoth.  Thousands of small "ticking" lines created bronze, blue, caramel, cream, and green patterns in these grips.  These feel slender in the hand, but very stable and comfortable when I shoot.  These will be extremely durable and stable.  I have had these many months in my personal collection.  Get these and get out to the range!

COMMENTS:  Over the years I have exhibited my grips and knives at small local shows, high end jewelry stores, and all the way up to largest show known as the Las Vegas SHOT show.  In every case the attendees act like they have been handed a piece of gold when I give them a ivory key fob.  They can finally show their friends and family what makes Mammoth ivory so special without carrying their pistol or knife with them everywhere they go.  Many folks have no idea what I am talking about when I describe my profession.  Then when I hand them a key fob they go "wow!" what do you do?  Where did you this stuff? Wow, that is so cool!  So here is a chance for you to be the cool kid with your friends, family, and coworkers.  Click on the picture to see these in a larger view.

GG1209 Vivianite Blue & Gold Bark Ticking Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES:  Nighthawk Custom, Ed  Brown, Colt, Kimber, Springfield, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Would not recommend beveling the heel since it would remove all of the blue in that area.

COMMENTS:  100% iridescent(Viviante) blue Mammoth.  Enough said, but I will go on.  I worked these down by hand over a 3 month period to capture all the blues and book matching between the 2 panels.  After creating the proper curvature on the surface I then, and only then, drilled the holes, flattened the back side of each panel and then continued working until the proper thickness was achieved.  It's totally backwards, and counterintuitive, but necessary to achieve this final outcome.  The "gold" bark ticking was a bonus.  Each Christmas I try to create and offer what I believe "the" perfect set and these are it for 2020.  Thanks for looking.  p.s. Just below the surface is clean solid cream ivory.  So they will be durable, stable and last a lifetime.  They will come with my aluminum GripLocks to make certain they stay perfect in any climate.

If you love blue, this is one of the best representations.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on 1 of my pistols.

GG1208 - Classic Bark High Gloss Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimber, Springfield, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Heel beveled & Mainspring Housing Pin notched.

COMMENTS: Classic Mammoth look & price makes these a great investment. Vertical bark lines run just below the surface making them a very solid and durable set.  They just make a dark pistol pop and will do well at gun shows or the next barbeque.  The nice warm buttery feel may have your friend trying to walk off with your pistol.  If someone is unfamiliar with Mammoth ivory, have them see and hold these and it will be instantly clear why this type of ivory is always in high demand.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.  Great for the range.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Ivory Polishing File in the main menu to see how it works and how to buy them!)  Note: These files also seal the pores in ivory.  Protecting them from stains and discoloration!

MODIFICATIONS: N/A

COMMENTS: Waiting for the right ivory, for both the grips and blade, takes awhile.  I think it finally came together in this matching set of grips and engraved knife.  Rich caramels, and heavy bark lines, helps tie these together well.  This set will last a lifetime whether they are put to work or kept as a heirloom piece.  The knife will come with a heavy tan leather sheath.  Both are signed by me.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown and the reverse side of the knife.  Pretty cool set I think.

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

COMMENTS:  This look is a favorite of dealers and manufactures. Bold bark lines on white ivory creates a dramatic look on dark pistols. The bark lines start out heavy on the heal and then move up thinner to create an almost flame like appearance.   These vertical bark lines run just along the surface and so these will be a very durable set whether its for the range or for a daily carry.  A classic example of what Mother Nature can do to ivory if given a few thousand years.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they make my Ed Brown pop.  These will make any pistol look like a one-of-a-kind heirloom piece of functional art.

GG1107 - Schreger Line Man Made Skip Line Checkered 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Mankind

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk Custom, Cabot Guns, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Has been cut for an ambidextrous safety and heel has been beveled.

COMMENTS: These type of grips can only be found here  For a very long time I have wanted to offer my customers a white checkered grip that was a perfect alternative to real ivory and here it is.  These grips have fooled several law enforcement officials whose job is to enforce laws on Elephant ivory trade.  Fine layers of white and cream colored material have been layered dozens of times to simulate the schreger lines of real ivory. 

A special checkering, known as skip-line, creates dozens of small diamonds like the large double diamonds that appear at the bushing holes.  Both the large and small diamonds are highly polished to create "moving" reflections similar to when viewing a real diamond ring.  All of this results in a very sophisticated and elegant look for any of your 1911 pistols.  Click on the picture above to see multiple views of these grips on my pistol.  You will see some of these tiny diamonds reflecting the light and creating a very cool & one-of-a-kind look.  There are only 2 of these built and are labeled "proto types" on the back side.  Do not forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my pistol.

PISTOL TYPES:  Nighthawk Custom, Ed  Brown, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  I cannot get more blue packed onto a single set of grips.  Blue & blue greens saturate 95% of the surface and there is not a single flaw or weak point anywhere.  These will be very durable and offer I lifetime of eye candy enjoyment.   They call this Viviante blue in that it changes tone and becomes more vivid under different lighting conditions.  This picture had some indirect outside light.  The pictures where they are mounted on my Ed Brown have much more outdoor sunlight.  I exposed a bit of white ivory to help with the book matching and give it a better "picture framing" once their mounted on a pistol.  Click on the picture to see how they look on a black pistol.  Another investment grade set of grips that will be great for 1 of your barbeque guns!

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk Custom, Cabot Guns, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

COMMENTS: Highly figured English Walnut where we did a skip checkered cut into the walnut to achieve the exotic look of random diamonds appearing in the checkering pattern.  Then we inlaid 30 billion year old Meteorite, as a medallion, in to the center of each panel.  As you can see in the large picture(click on the small picture) a perfect etch has been achieved so that you will see sparkling crystals suddenly appear when viewing the grips at different angles.  Here is a chance to own functional art without spending $1,000s or even millions (e.g. Cabots Big Bang Meteorite pistols!) of dollars for a pistol that has parts made from Meteorite.  Truly a heirloom level pair of grips

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro.

COMMENTS:  I usually do just 1 pair a year.  There is less than 10 pairs in the world.  Here is my 2020 full Meteorite 1911 grips.  Often called the Muonion Meteor, the full name is:  "Muonionalusta".  This Meteorite is the oldest of all Earth found Meteors and is believed to be older than Earth itself.  Just amazing.  Both panels exhibit the full crystal patterns unique to Meteorites and has the fine crystal patterns that "light up" when viewed at different angles under sun light.  These have a thin profile, but come with Carbon liners that can be placed between the pistol and grips to allow you to use your full size bushings.  A full youtube.com video can be seen by clicking here or by going directly to www.youtube.com and typing in key words: Meteorite, grips, Chinnock.  It is very informal and is just 3 minutes long.  I wanted you to see them in my hands and how I mounted them on my Ed Brown 1911.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: These are the type I often sell to Cabot Gun.  Looks like "flame" bark lines dancing up from the heals into a rich warm cream at the top.  Nice book matching and high contrast, makes these a great investment. Vertical bark lines run just below the surface making them a very solid and durable set.  They just make a dark pistol pop and will do well at gun shows are the next barbeque.  The nice warm buttery feel may have your friend trying to walk off with your pistol.  If someone is unfamiliar with Mammoth ivory. have them see and hold these and it will be instantly clear why this type of ivory is always in high demand.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.  Great for the range.

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk Custom, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Would not recommend beveling the heel as it would remove the blue in that area, but can if desired.

COMMENTS: Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  A cool set of "blues" for a Compact frame.  Lots of veining and battle scarring that gives them that ancient look that they really are.  Like 10,000 to 30,000 years!  Will be a great set for a conceal carry or range gun.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on my Kimber Ultra CDP II.  Very cool look

GG1133 - Crimson Red & White Mammoth Tooth ivory 1911 Grips

Mammoth found in: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Flawless set of Mammoth Tooth with rare white enamel and red dentine. Add pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my different pistols.   While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into tactical G10 material. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Heel beveling and Mainspring Housing Pin notch can also be performed.

COMMENTS:  These are one of those rare sets where the main ivory is super white and the bronze colors and crackle give it almost a stag look.  These are very comfortable in the hand and very stable.  I have had these for over a year giving presentations at shoot ranges, gun shows, and stores.  The just have a very rich deep color that really screams real ivory.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on 1 of my pistols.  Very cool set.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

PISTOL TYPES:  Nighthawk Custom, Ed  Brown, Colt, Kimber, Springfield, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Would not recommend beveling the heel since it would remove all of the blue in that area.

COMMENTS:  These beautiful blue crackle have a dead on book matching.  Not to many grips like these around and believe me I look and look for ivory exhibiting this color and pattern.  Sometimes it is a very steep price since it is so very rare. If you love blue, this is one of the best representations.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on 1 of my pistols.

MODIFICATIONS: can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: For a very long time I have wanted to offer my customers checkered grips at a price that makes them appropriate for the range and every day carry.  We all know checkering helps us with a more tactile feel.  It also adds confidence that we have a safe and secure grip on our pistol.  These grips make that happen.   But I didn't want to stop there.  Lets go for good looks also.  These were made from Curly Maple and its what creates that light and dark ripples in the wood.  That "shimmer" when the light hits them at different angles. I also did a polish to the flats (using my proprietary polishing file) to increase the contrast.  That file will be included with the grips to give you the option of maintaining the gloss or let them gather their own patina with each use.  They also have a slightly thinner profile to help small hands.  When I used them they felt great in the hands.  Do not forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my pistol.

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk Custom, Cabot Guns, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS:  This cool schreger line white ivory was grown in a Lab not by an Mammal.  Then Muonionalusta Meteorite medallions were inlayed into the grips.  This Meteor impacted Scandinavia between Sweden and Finland.  It is considered the oldest discovered meteorite about 1 million years ago and is clearly part of the iron core or mantle of a exploded planetoid.

These grips have fooled several law enforcement officials whose job is to enforce laws on Elephant ivory trade.  Fine layers of white and cream colored material have been layered dozens of times to simulate the schreger lines of real ivory.  As you can see in the large picture(click on the small picture) a perfect etch has been achieved in the medallions so that you will see sparkling crystals suddenly appear when viewing the grips at different angles.  Here is a chance to own functional art without spending $1,000s or even millions (e.g. Cabots Big Bang Meteorite pistols!) of dollars for a pistol that has parts made from Meteorite.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: Here is another opportunity to own a matching set of ivory grips and "your emergency backup" knife that has matching ivory and a Case Colored blade that is razor sharp and ready to go to work if needed.  Knife would make a great compliment to a Tyler Gun Works case colored pistol.  I have displayed and carried this rig at Tulsa Arms show & other local shows and it does get a lot of attention.  Both grips and knife will be very durable & will be a great investment since a matched set is seldom built due to difficulty in achieving a "match".  Don't forget to click on the picture to see other views off these grips and knife.

COMMENTS:  As many of you know, I have been building cross cut Mammoth ivory grips for Nighthawk Custom for over 3 years.  Rare do I post these on my web site and since I decided to publish a pair now I thought they should be the very best.  Beside the bright blue colors, these have a perfect book match star burst pattern in the center of each grip panel.  I also hardened and stabilized the ivory with a ceramic sealant making these more durable than any I have produced before.  I even inlayed a panel of aluminum between the ivory and the G10 backing.  The only way to see it is to look inside the bushing holes!  In my opinion, this is one of the most striking pairs of grips I have ever built (and that is well over 1,000 to date.)  The ultimate eye candy for one of your 1911 pistols.  Click on the picture to see these on one of my pistols.  Very cool look for any color pistol.

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: I attempted to create one of the most rare sets of grips possible.  From the coal & silver mines of Siberia, I found this section of ivory had actual silver absorbed into the surface of the ivory. Over 15 different lines of silver appear in the black lines of each grip.  Once I exposed the black and silver threads I then built the grips backwards by first creating the contour, then grind them to the proper outside shape and finally sand the backs flat (to the proper thickness) while maintaining the proper surface curvature.  The end result is a rare set of black and white ivory grips with fine silver threads running all over the black bark lines.  Really a cool set that will have you staring for hours and finding something new every time.  While they will be a very durable set to take to the range, they should also be considered an investment level piece of functional artwork.  For $30, you may want me mount them on 1 of my GripLocks to keep them in perfect condition while not mounted on a pistol. Allowing them to be a generational heirloom. Don't forget to click on the picture to see them mounted on one of my pistols!

GG1063 - Crimson Red & White Mammoth Tooth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

Mammoth found in: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Nighthawk, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Flawless set of Mammoth Tooth with rare white enamel and red dentine. Add pop to a stainless and turns a dark pistol into a barbeque gun!  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my different pistols.   While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into tactical G10 material. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

COMMENTS:  The most dramatic set of blues I have ever built. Multiple shades of blue with great color depth and then heavy black bark lines to give even more depth and contrast to the blue and cream ivory peeking in from the sides.  The price reflects that I am not sure I want these to sell.  In 10 years I have never seen such an eye popping set of grips.  My hope is that the other chunks of ivory, that these came from, will yield another 1 or 2 sets.  And to think it started out as slabs of brown crusty ivory that looked like drift wood.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols. Truly investment grade.

Check my new menu item "Ivory File". For $3 dollars, this file will keep that gloss and mint condition look on these grips. I even have a video demo on how to use it.

COMMENTS:  Nice crackle lines going across the entire surface, these have a nice warm light bronze color on top of white ivory that makes them super rare.  I have had them on display in my office for several months now and just love the look and feel. Perfectly book matched sets like these don't come around very often.  Will look great on any color pistol, but don't hesitate to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  They just might appear on the cover of a magazine some day.  They are that good.

PISTOL TYPES: Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: N/A   Ambidextrous safety in place

COMMENTS:  I am always in search of new opportunities to offer dramatic and rare 1911 grips.  It is often called brain coral (scientific name is hard to pronounce) do to the round shape and growth pattern and it takes over 200 years for a fully mature "brain" to grow on the ocean floor.  Harvesting has come to an almost complete stop, but museum quality specimens are there in private collections.  Coral has been inlayed into Aluminum material for greater durability.

Grips will be very durable out at the range.  If you click on the picture you will see how they look on my pistols & how it totally changes the look of a dark or stainless pistol.  Grips still have their "Coral pores" open to help your grip & absorb moisture.  If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

COMMENTS: Nice Cream to Golden color gives these a look of well aged ivory in pristine condition.  Will matchup well to a color case or black pistol.  Perfect for a historical or safe Queen 1911 pistol.  Again, this level of white is similar 200 year old Elephant ivory.  Totally smooth, have a high gloss, and feel like warm butter in your hands.  This effect and appearance is why Mammoth ivory is so sought after.  Nothing else comes close.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  These will like outlast your pistol no matter how many rounds are fired.

MODIFICATIONS: Have been cut for an ambidextrous safety

GG996 - Case Colored Steel 1911 grips w/ deep Bronze and Blues

IVORY: N/A (Made in America!)

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips. They have sent me templates for all of their models.

MODIFICATIONS: Ambidextrous setup is already in place.

COMMENTS: That "Case Color" (hardened) look has been cool for over a 100 years.  Originally on Single Action Army pistols, the migration to 1911's was inevitable.  Republic Forge has some beautiful examples out on their Facebook page and on their web site.  We then started building case colored knives with matching ivory grips.  Now comes the next iteration!  Case Color Hardened grips.  Weighing just 5.7 Oz, they work well on any pistol, but have a nice pop on Stainless.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown.  The 20 curved grooves gives them a confident feel in the hand.  They are guaranteed not to fade or wear down or they will be reworked or replaced for life.  I new protection seal, previously only found on our knives, is invisible to the naked eye, but creates an extremely durable seal against UV light or the friction of the shooters hand.  If you have a blued pistol, it is begging to have a pair of these shoes.  Listen to your pistol, it knows best.

GG1000 - Officer/Compact size:  Deep Alaskan Blue Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Alaska Inupiaq tribe

PISTOL TYPES:  Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro. Thumb groove for better access to magazine release.

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact size grips.  This ivory is unique in that it was found by Native Alaskans.  Some live a very simple life and finding ivory, even in small amounts, provides significant income for their yearly living expenses.  Alaskan ivory is often darker in the base color, but often yields unique "blues" in that the climate is so different (wet and warm) when compared to Siberia Russia.  So it goes without saying that these are very unique compared to the blues I offer in Siberian ivory.  Nice warm set with deep sapphire blue veining makes them a rare.  Colors like these seem to match well with a conceal carry pistol.  Nothing too flashy to catch someone's eye while holstered. 

These have the square corner often desired by magwell owners, but I can put a bevel on the heal for even a softer feel.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on 1 of my pistols.  Check my new menu item "Ivory File". For $3 dollars, this file will keep that gloss and mint condition look on these grips. I even have a video demo on how to use it. So please check it out and tell me what you think. If you already own some ivory grips, this file will increase the value of that investment. A high gloss set of ivory grips often sells for $50 to $100 more than a flat/dull set of grips.

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for a ambidextrous safety, MSH pin notch, beveled heal, thumb groove for speed access to magazine release.

COMMENTS:  I created good book matching by having equal amounts of black crackle lines and the result is good "movement and flow" to the overall look when they are on a pistol.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces.  These are totally smooth and up close an almost 3-dimensional look.  These will be extremely durable and will likely outlast your pistol.  Wilson Combat would put them into their "Bullet Proof" category of pistol options.  They also have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory. 

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

GG998 - Black ticking on highly white Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, heal beveled, cut for Main Spring Housing Pin

COMMENTS:  These are a bright white ivory even above Elephant ivory.  The light crackle lines give the grips great depth of color and look almost 3 dimensional when viewed up close.  They will look great on any color pistol and are an exceptional alternative to Elephant ivory.  I had not seen this level of white in years, but a recent tusk section revealed a few of these "white" Mammoth grips and so if you love that high contrast between the grips and a black or blue pistol, these would be a great choice.

IVORY: Atlantic Ocean Floor

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: N/A

COMMENTS:  I built these grips over a year ago and never could come up with another set with these great colors and so these are coming out of my collection as a one of a kind only.  The process to make them was so time consuming I am afraid that even if I found more coral like this I would not have the patience to attempt again.  Golden anodized titanium fused to the back make these super hard and super durable.  Just a really cool looking set.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.

COMMENTS:  These have a bark pattern for those who lean towards the traditional look of wood or stag grips.  A nice bronze look, with hints of blue, and that warm buttery feel you only find with real ivory.  I then pulled out the lighter ivory sitting below the surface, and achieved some nice "pop" by having it appear on the outer edges.  These will be extremely durable and sure to add life to any black or bronze pistol.  Excellent choice for your 1st pair of Mammoth ivory grips that will have you staring at them for hours.  Amazing to have some thing be so new looking and knowing it came from something that is over 10,000 years old.

GG991 - Emerald Green & Natural Mammoth Tooth 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

Mammoth found in: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips.

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Flawless set of blue & green veined Mammoth Tooth, contrasted and balanced by light tans, creates a striking set of grips.  Just a natural for a barbeque gun.  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces.  The black bezel frames out the Tooth nicely and gives it great protection at the borders and bushings.  Will have a dramatic effect on black pistols.  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths. 

Don't forget to click on the picture to see a larger view on how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into tactical G10 material. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

GG992 - Classic Bark Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips. They have sent me templates for all of their models.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety. Thumb groove for speed access to magazine release.

COMMENTS: These are a great example of  Mammoth ivory.  The brown crackle on top of white ivory gives them an ancient look of old tree bark (hence the phrase "Mammoth Bark".)  However, they are totally smooth, have a high gloss, and feel like warm butter in your hands.  This effect and appearance is why Mammoth ivory is so sought after.  Nothing else comes close.  These will be a very durable set of grips and so don't be shy putting them on your every day carry or every trip at the shooting range.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols. 

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

COMMENTS:  This burnt red tooth has these looking great on both black and stainless pistols, and just a natural for a barbeque gun.  Remember to click on the picture to see how they look on my different pistols.  The silver bezel further enhances the dramatic effect on black pistols.  While perfectly smooth, the rich patterns give it a one-of-a-kind look that can only be achieved by Mother Nature and the ancient Wooly Mammoths.

COMMENTS:  Nice solid Mammoth that has a heavy patina throughout the ivory with black ticks that give these a traditional look.  A high gloss gives them a great mint condition look and will be a great set for a every day carry black pistol.  Flawless in every way, these will likely out last your pistol and make a nice investment as Mammoth ivory becomes more and more scarce.

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Colt, All Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Uselton, Volkmann, Dan Wesson, Wilson, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety or bob tail (Ed Brown).

COMMENTS:  One of the most dramatic effects Mother Nature can perform on Mammoth ivory.  Totally smooth, highly polished, white ivory, and a ice crackle pattern appearing just below the surface.  I kept these in my own collection for a long while because they are so cool to look at.  I love the warm buttery feel & the way it dresses out my Ed Brown.  Dead spot on of what takes 10,000+ years to create by Mother Nature and an example of what man cannot do.  An extremely durable set of grips that just might outlast your pistol!

GG976 - Rare Midnight Blue Black Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones 

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for a ambidextrous safety, MSH pin notch, and beveled heal

COMMENTS:  There is a maximum security prison in Russia named the "Black Dolphin" and these inmates can be put to work in the harsh coal mines of Siberia.  This black ivory was found there.  Under different light these will reflect gloss black or deep blues.  It is one of those things that makes these types of grips so special.  Extremely hard to find ivory like this, they are just another example of how special Mammoth ivory is after Mother Nature has worked them over for a few thousand years.  With equal amounts of black on each grip, they have good matching and investment value.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces.  These are totally smooth and up close an almost 3-dimensional look.  They also have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory.

MG005  - Meteorite - highly reflective cross hatching (Widenstatten) grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

Material: Mudusala Meteorite

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

COMMENTS: The word "rare" is simply not strong enough for describing the uniqueness of these grips.  First we have to take in effect that they are not of this Earth.  Second, very few Meteors that impacted Earth remained intact large enough to build something like a pair of 1911 grips.  It took billions of years in outer space for the predominately iron and nickel metals to form the crystalline cross hatch patterns technically known as Widenstatten patterns.  These "patterns" are unique to Meteors and each Meteor has its own unique pattern (its own "thumbprint".)  Then a great deal of it burned up as it entered our atmosphere and collided with earth.  What remained, man found.  These grips were made from the Mudusala Meteor. 

I have worked several years bringing these grips to fruition and this pair has all the great qualities of a Meteor built into a functional pair of 1911 grips.  Click on the picture to see a larger view on one of my pistols.  There is a short video out on YouTube.  Simply click on this link:  www.YouTube.com video 1  The demo can also be viewed by going directly to YouTube and typing in:  Meteorite 1911 grips.  The first video shows a pair of pistols Cabot Guns built out of Meteorite.  I believe the retail price for those pistols is over 4 million dollars.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.  Beveled Heal and Mainspring Housing Pin notch

COMMENTS: Several months ago I did a project for a Marine Seal Team where all team members would have a identical set of grips that were custom for them.  I have a couple of extra sets to offer here.  Something to tie them to the Seal teams being the "Tip Of The Spear".  We have spear tips made from white Mammoth ivory that were inlayed into African Ebony wood.  18 line checkering is in the Ebony wood for better tactile feel.  Please click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces pistol.

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones

MODIFICATIONS: Can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  I rarely see Brilliant blues such as these.  Be sure to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  A highly book matched set in a exotic blue with dark blue bark lines. They have an almost 3-dimensional look when viewed up close that only can be achieved by Mother Nature, iron in the soil, and a few thousand years to alter the surface of the ivory.  Flawless in everyway, these will be very durable and likely to outlast your pistol.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look yourself, just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!) A high gloss set of ivory grips often sells for $50 to $100 more than a flat/dull set of grips.

GG967- Golden Flame Bark on White Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Have been cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS:  I shaped and removed the outer crust of the ivory to reveal a cool looking gold ivory that almost has a dancing flame effect flowing from the bottom of each grip.  I just love these grips!  They will be very durable and easy to care for.  Truly a great looking pair of grips with maximum contrast to have them jumping off your black or blue pistol.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Have been cut for an ambidextrous safety

COMMENTS: Perfectly book matched, these very bold copper/bronze grips will bring life to any dark pistol.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces.  These are totally smooth and 3-dimensional looking grips have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory.  Nice mint condition look on a 10,000 year old piece of ivory.  Mother nature does some cool things if given the time.

GG963 - Battle Scarred Bronze Mammoth ivory 1911 grips

IVORY: Siberia - Russia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips. They have sent me templates for all of their models.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro. Thumb groove for better access to magazine release.

COMMENTS:  Mother Nature tried to keep this ivory in untouched Mammoth white color, but the Mammoth had other ideas.  These grips still show the original pits and grooves the Woolly Mammoth inflicted during battles will other other Mammoths and when rutting the earth to lift out vegetation food.  Wrap your mind around the idea that they ate over 200 pounds of food a day and the impact their tusks took as a result.  Bronze colored ivory in these scars gives them a nice secure feel in the hand and yet they still feel soft in the hand.  They will be an extremely durable set of grips that will only increase in value when ivory like this can no longer be found.  Great warm buttery feel will make any pistol hard to put down.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.

IVORY: Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Already cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  Another bold set of grips that is a great example of why Mammoth ivory grips are so in demand.  It took thousands of years for mother nature to put the Blue veining in the surface of the grips and allow me to make a grip that is totally smooth and have a high gloss finish.  The color clarity gives them a 3-dimensional look when viewed up close.  Great book matching took some effort to achieve, but I think the results were well worth it.  Click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  These will be an extremely durable set & perfect for an "Every Day Carry"

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro. Thumb groove for better(speed) access to magazine release. Or the traditional bevel and cutout for Main Spring Housing pin.

COMMENTS: Nice marbled patina ivory, with a touch of blue veining, give these an ancient look, and a mint look all at the same time.  These are also going to be a extremely durable set.  Great contrast will have them just "popping" of any dark pistol.  And while they are totally smooth, their high gloss gives them an almost 3-dimensional look when viewed up close. With their warm buttery there will be no reason to ever take them off your pistol.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS: Another bold set of grips that is a great example of why Mammoth ivory grips are so in demand.  It took thousands of years for mother nature to put the Blue & black veining in the surface of the grips and allow me to make a grip that is totally smooth and have a high gloss finish.  The color clarity gives them a 3-dimensional look when viewed up close.  Great book matching took some effort to achieve, but I think the results were well worth it.  Not for the faint of heart.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces.

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Alaska

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note:

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Highly book matched, this ivory was cut as a cross section of the tusk and so we see the end grain like growth rings of a tree. They are inlayed into black G10 material that creates nice picture framing and will make them "pop" off of any black, blue, or two tone pistol.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces.  Totally smooth with a high gloss gives them that crisp clean look of color clarity.

GG957 - Light Ruby & Copper Mammoth Tooth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Mammoth Tooth from Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips. They have sent me templates for all of their models.

MODIFICATIONS: N/A

COMMENTS:  This tooth had such hot crimson colors that for the 1st time I used copper to protect the tooth and give the grips a nice warm look.  You can let the copper go patina based on use and moisture in your hand or keep it polished with a few quick swipes of my polishing file (I will include 1).  Very nice clean tooth that gives you the feel of how the tooth looked thousands of years ago.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into tactical G10 material or Aluminum. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

GG956 - Sapphire  Blue Mammoth Ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Siberia

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro. Thumb groove for better access to magazine release.

COMMENTS: Just a great set of intense blues that are like a clean Sapphire.   These are a durable set that will upgrade the look of any 1911 and certainly add value since "blue" of this type is so rare. I also left just a touch of the outside crust so that you can see exactly what I see when working with raw ivory.  I do not know what I have until I start sanding this part away. These took a very high polish that will surely grab attention out on the range or in your holster. Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces.  Totally smooth, they have that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory.

Check my new menu item "Ivory File". For $3 dollars, this file will keep that gloss and mint condition look on these grips. I even have a video demo on how to use it. So please check it out and tell me what you think. If you already own some ivory grips, this file will increase the value of that investment. A high gloss set of ivory grips often sells for $50 to $100 more than a flat/dull set of grips.

COMMENTS: Just a nice clean set of Mammoth ivory with some light blue greens at the top and bottom of each panel.   These are a durable set that will upgrade the look of any 1911 and certainly add value since there is nice "blue" in them. These have the square corner often desired by magwell owners, but I can put the traditional mainspring housing bolt notch in if desired. These took a very high polish that will surely grab attention out on the range or in your holster. Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on 1 of my pistols.  Great bark ticking that is another sign of true Mammoth ivory.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety. Thumb groove for speed access to magazine release.

COMMENTS: Blue Mammoth framed by a nice warm Honey ivory gives these a soft look that should upgrade the look of any 1911 pistol.  If you click on the picture, I show how they work on a stainless and my Ed Brown Special Forces.  Rare to get this background color of honey with accents of blue/green.  They are a very sophisticated looking set of grips that have a warm buttery feel one gets only with real ivory.  These are unique as a thumbprint, no one will ever have a pair like these.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety, bob tail (Ed Brown) or Kimber's Super Carry Pro.

COMMENTS: To pick up the blues, be sure to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  A highly book matched set that has subtle blues under the brown bark lines. They have an almost 3-dimensional look when viewed up close that only can be achieved by Mother Nature, iron in the soil, and a few thousand years to alter the surface of the ivory.  These will work well on any color pistol. Adding a almost sophisticated look.  Just a classy looking pair of ivory grips with that warm buttery feel you only get with real ivory.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety. MSH pin notch and bevel on heal of each grip.

COMMENTS:  Remember these are Compact/Officer sized grips.  These highly book matched grips have a bold pattern of vertical bark lines that run just along the surface of the ivory.  This lets them be totally smooth, have a high gloss, and a 3-dimensional look when viewed up close.  Just a radical set of grips that look aggressive, but actually have a soft and warm buttery feel you only experience with real ivory.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Kimber Ultra CDP II.

MODIFICATIONS: Upon request, can be cut for an ambidextrous safety. Thumb groove for speed access to magazine release.

COMMENTS: These are a great example of  Mammoth ivory.  The black crackle on top of white ivory gives them an ancient look of old tree bark (hence the phrase "Mammoth Bark".)  However, they are totally smooth, have a high gloss, and feel like warm butter in your hands.  This effect and appearance is why Mammoth ivory is so sought after.  Nothing else comes close.  These will be a very durable set of grips and so don't be shy putting them on your every day carry or every trip at the shooting range.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see them on one of my pistols.  These types of grips are starting to become rare since very little ivory has been making it out of Russia for almost 2 years and thus will hold their value extremely well (likely increase in a few more years.)

GG908 - Intense Solar Flare Mammoth Tooth ivory 1911 Grips

ARTIST: Dan Chinnock

IVORY: Mammoth Tooth from Siberia

PISTOL TYPES: Republic Forge, Colts, Kimbers, Springfields, Ed Brown, Les Baer, Cabot, Dan Wesson, Wilson Combat, STI, etc. and all 1911 clones Note: Some Cabot guns require special templates to make grips. They have sent me templates for all of their models.

MODIFICATIONS: Setup is in place for an ambidextrous safety.

COMMENTS:  Has the header suggests, I think the colors are what we see in pictures of our Sun when solar flares occur.   The white veining is the hardest part of the tooth which created a jagged and uneven tooth surface for more efficient eating.  The black G10 bezel makes an even more dramatic effect and protects the teeth from chipping.  Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on my Ed Brown Special Forces. 

Wooly Mammoths had larger molars to help digest about 200 pounds of vegetation each day. The dark areas were softer and the light areas were harder. This created an uneven surface as they wore down and much like a cheese grater they made the molars more efficient. They fell out and were replaced with new teeth about every three years. Mammoth tooth grips have been made before, but I avoided them due to their hard brittle tendencies. This has now been resolved by inlaying the Mammoth tooth into tactical G10 material or Aluminum. They are now light weight, durable, and beautiful. Even more, these grips will over a few years begin to wear to your unique hand print. It will take a while, but it is cool to think about how your grips will form to your unique hand shape.

COMMENTS: Very bold copper/bronze contrast that will bring life to any dark pistol.  Click on the picture to see them on my Ed Brown Special Forces while I was at the range.  These are totally smooth and felt great, but must have been a little thinner than I am used to since I was consistently pulling shots off to the right at 25 yrds.  Nice mint condition look on a 10,000 year old piece of ivory.  Mother nature does some cool things if given the time.

COMMENTS:  I saw an opportunity, that if I worked these slowly by hand, I could achieve a highly book matched set.  These have golden bark on the heals and toes, and nice vertical bark lines that help define them as a classic set of Wooly Mammoth ivory grips.  This set will be extremely durable and will only increase in value in the future when ivory like this can no longer be found.  Great warm buttery feel will make any pistol hard to put down.  Don't let the pattern fool you, these grips are totally smooth and highly polished giving them that 3-dimensional look when viewed up close. Unique as a thumbprint, no one will ever have a pair like these. Don't forget to click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.

If you want to maintain that high gloss, mint condition look, yourself just ask me to include a polishing file for $3.00 (see Polishing file in the main menu to see how it works!)

COMMENTS:  During the build, these started to have that warm buttery feel, and sun gold look, that I switched to working them totally by hand.  Four months later they look as great as I hoped.  Nice soft feel, highly book matched, totally smooth, high polish, and equal amounts of bark lines running from head to toe on each grip.  These define why Mammoth ivory can be so rare, unique and beautiful.  Great investment grade set of 1911 grips that will warm up any color pistol.  Click on the picture to see how they look on one of my pistols.  I just love these.

About 1911 Pistols

About Mammoth Ivory

The Mammoth Ivory used to manufacture my handmade 1911 Ivory Grips comes from the tusks and teeth of Wooly Mammoths. This unique ivory offers a distinct look and feel. As the last Wooly Mammoth became extinct over 10,000 years ago, the supply of this popular Mammoth Ivory is becoming more and more rare. Therefore, the value of your 1911 Ivory Grips, manufactured from only quality real ivory, will only increase in the years to come.
