This one quietly says a lot about the durability of horn as a handle material. It has seen good honest work, but looks ready to get back to it! Impressive material as someone's daily user on a farm, especially considering it is bolsterless. Great stuff, SK! Given the title of the thread (thanks Waynorth!), it is interesting to get a chance to see examples of both the durability as well as the beauty this classic material. Great to see!Great looking knives everyone. This is a French pruning knife circa early 1900s.
Unicorn horn is the rarest. I have never seen even one yet.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.
