Scoff if you must, but some of my favorite knives are Rough Riders, and one of my favorite RR handle materials is smooth tobacco bone.
Here are some examples; note that quite a range of colors is included, from pale yellow to rich dark brown.
Half Hawks of 2 hues (I no longer have the first one):

A couple of locking trappers, medium (aka mini) and full-size (thanks, Todd):
