About our exclusive Magna-Tusk™ “Hi-Grade” Ivory Grips:

Magna-Tusk™ Ivory grips, an exclusive of Arizona Custom Grips, are manufactured out of a super high-grade, ultra-high density Ivory material developed exclusively for our premium grip production.  Vastly superior to standard bonded ivory found on factory and other aftermarket Ivory grips, Magna-Tusk™ is capable of withstanding the heaviest recoil and impact, and is the toughest alternative ivory material available today, while still retaining the pristine look of real ivory.  It is completely rock-solid, stable, and water, chemical, and oil resistant.  It is flame and heat resistant, and is entirely void-free, with over 10x the strength, durability, and impact resistance of alternative materials.  Unlike with real ivory, there is no routine care and maintenance involved, with no danger of it drying out and cracking if not maintained properly or if left in the heat.  It is filled with premium natural and synthetic compounds to produce outstanding aesthetic properties and mechanical performance.  When aged with our exclusive aging process, it takes on the equivalent of a 100-year-old patina, with subtle grain details which many experts cannot tell apart from the real thing.  In addition, the material has a fine grain structure, which holds intricate detail for carvings, imitation stag, etc., found on many historic grips.  

About Our Aging Process:  These grips are specially made to have a genuine, antique patina found on many historic guns.  These grips feature authentic color mottling, variegation, and subtle wear marks as seen on many of the revolvers which belonged to gunfighters and lawmen of the Old West. 

We offer the highest quality, most authentic imitation Aged Ivory grips available anywhere on the market.  Genuine aged Ivory grips are highly sought after on the collector’s market, with prices going into many hundreds of dollars.  It almost always commands a premium over “new” (white) Ivory.  Our aging technique yields a product that is authentic in appearance without the associated fragility and scarcity of real Ivory. 

These grips are slowly aged using a special process employing concentrated UV light (the essential aging property in natural sunlight), and in addition employing heat and pressure in a special controlled high oxygen-rich environment which accelerates the aging process.  Unlike a painted surface, our patina actually extends below the surface, into the grip material itself.  Not only does it look better to begin with, but will not chip, crack, or peel, like superficially applied surfaces.  The result is nothing short of spectacular -- an outstanding, authentic, genuine aged surface without a 100-year wait.  With our exclusive aging process, these grips are outstanding right out of the box, and will continue to improve over time.  The more these grips are handled and used, just like any genuine patina, the better they look! 

Grip screw included with all grips.  Minor fitting may be required depending on your grip frame.
