Cool knife, but why giraffe bone if that's not it's natural color?

I think it's more to do with the properties of the giraffe bone.

Pretty dense material, real stable, doesn't chip or split, is easily workable, will take coloring, isn't super expensive to procure, etc..

Thanks. That's the kind of answer I was looking for.

I'm sorry I though the question was more directed to dyed vs. none dyed, my bad. This Giraffe bone is actually stabilized with colored stabilizing solution, same process as stabilized wood, basically a resin is forced into every pore of the bone, fills any cracks etc. This makes for a very dense, durable, and very stabile handle material. The draw back is its very heavy and makes one hefty knife.
