Is the jigged Buffalo horn scaled handle thicker more like the Genuine Stag handles or is it thinner and more flat sided like the jigged bone handles ?
Thanks.
 
How does the smooth bone (which I have one of) compare to the jigged bone thickness wise I assume the jigged bone is thicker?
In other words :
Bump
 
Gee I might get the Buffalo Horn even if it isn't all that bulky.
Then I'll be the only person in the entire BladeForums that owns a Case Teardrop with Buffalo Horn scales .;) :rolleyes:
Who'da thought ?
 
OK you bunch of babies listen up.
That's the way one of my high school math teachers used to open his class. :)

The Smooth White Bone Teardrop measures just under 8.5mm.
The Black Water Buffalo Horn Teardrop measures nearly 12mm at the thickest point. I'm totally pleased; I was looking for a bulkier handle without going to Stag. I have Stag but up until now had no Water Buffalo. Glad I took the chance.

With the Wharncliffe blade in this kind of gnarly old fashioned handle it has a lot of presence for such a small knife.

My advice : Buy one before they stop making them again. ;)
