Very nice examples Charlie. I have to admit a certain wariness towards horn, after I discovered several knives of mine had been munched on by beetles while in storage.

Here's a Spanish blonde.

Very nice variety of beautiful horn handles. I really like the translucent horn on the fifth one down in the first pic.

Just trying out my avatar, but I always swish organic handles in kerosene.

Amazing horn, Charlie! One of these days I'd love to borrow your Time Machine.

All nice stuff. But those big pruners are the bee's knees!

Question/ challenge-
Whats the rarest type of horn used on a knife? Obviously not cow or ram, nor buffalo(which is essentially a cow with attitude).
The Bison (American Buffalo) perhaps or something rarer-Antler doesn't count because its not horn.
Goat?
A specific species of wild sheep or goat- eg Ibex or Barbary sheep?
must be something out there.

dayumm That Shadow Sleeveboard is exactly what horn can be and what Traditionals are all about!
