Show your traditional Horn handles

[R.c.s]

I have done a search for a thread simaler to this but couldn't find one . so my apologies if their is one . the idea for this thread came from Gary ( 5k QS ) though I think he got me confused with somebody else . I really like the look of Horn on a knife . in a little way I think it looks more exotic than bone . but this is just my opinion . I only have 4 in my collection at present . and I would love to see what you guys have ..

Great idea for a thread! I'd love to see more horn knives myself.

My only horn knife is my Tuna Valley Railsplitter; the horn is buffalo.

Thanks! Looking at the black lockback in your photos, is that one buffalo as well? That feathering is lovely, and I bet it changes depending on the angle and the light.

Yes mate it is . And you're right which makes it hard to take a good photo

While I have both, the ram's horn is easily my favorite, for both its color and texture.

Thanks for starting the thread, R.c.s! :thumbup:
I don't think I had you confused with anyone else; I was going by quality, not quantity, of horn!
For some reason, certain horn-handled knives stick in my memory, and I remembered your LionSteel and Maserin (the 3rd one in your pics is a Maserin, right?), and your new Laguiole, and I'm pleased as punch to see them all pictured in one spot. (For some reason, I thought you had another marvelous horn knife, similar in color to the Maserin, but I may be mistaken. In fact, now I'm remembering that I complimented you on a fantastic "horn" knife, and you thanked me but said it was actually bone. Maybe that's the other one I thought you had. )

I was also hoping to "lure" some other favorites of mine out into the open so I could enjoy them again! Seeing Jack's luminescent ox horn every now and then always boosts my spirits, and your thread "caught" that one. Dadpool's recently-returned to him feathered buffalo horn Tuna Valley is another classic, in my mind, as are black mamba's fine ram's horn specimens, of which my personal favorite is probably that Owl Head sowbelly! :thumbup::thumbup: And bozack has posted a heavenly handful of horn, too; very impressive! Now if the thread can just capture a glimpse of a rapturous Ruple that Cory Hess has...

I have 3 knives with horn handles.

Very welcome idea, high time we had a Horn Thread:thumbup:

I have a RAT 3 fixed blade in D2 with Ram's Horn handles, hardly ever use it but I'm not sure if it gets in under the Traditional wire, don't want the Mod's Club on my skull

Oh my, that's gorgeous :thumbup:

I wish ram's horn would be used more frequently, it's such a nice material with lots of different colours/textures.

Here's my only ram's horn example, a Scagel Fruitport:

And something slightly older, a Victoria:
