What interests me about the Cato kris is the pommel material ; I wonder if it is truly elephant ivory , or is it made from a particularly large hippo tusk .
IIRC hippo tusks have the series of dark dots seen in picture #2 in the auction .

personally speaking ; I have never seen these dots in elephant ivory .
