I received this knife as a tip for some work I did. I found it online for a decent amount of money, but the knife and box itself seems rather cheap. Is the Damascus real? And is it real wooly mammoth tooth? Thanks for any help!

Sorry but, more than likely it is a cheap Pakistani Damascus knife. Usually the blades have lead (toxic) in them and are not heat treated well. I would be very surprised if that is real woolly mammoth tooth or tusk given the rough fit and finish. Hold onto it if you like, but don’t use for food.
Have it checked out. There are ways of telling if it’s real bone or not. Like the hot pin trick is one way.
Don’t let people get you down. None of us are any wiser about it than you.
