The ELKS antlers look identical, but there could be (?) some very minor differences.Rated by the manufacturer as a level 6 difficulty (on a scale of 1 to 6 where 6 is the most challenging.)  The number on the packaging indicates the level of difficulty. Your own experience could vary substantially.   ELK is part of a series of 45 plus very interesting and mentally provocative metal brain teasers from the Hanayama Puzzle Company.    Some serious puzzlers refer to these as "disentanglement-style puzzles" as they involve taking something apart and then re-assembling.     Re-assembly can also be a puzzle and may be equally as tricky.Reminder.  NO FORCE is ever required to solve the puzzle.  Just a series of clever moves.
