Hornswoggled!

I also love a little bit of buffalo horn. Here are some Queen's made Northwoods from the Dave Shirley era. I think the 3rd from the left is a little reminiscent of the Northern Lights.

And then of course, ram's horn always has a great texture.

Liking this thread!
Here's one of my knives with more Bull Horn from "La Corrida" In this case, it's from the section of the horn closer to the tip, so not translucent like the lower section of the horn closerto the skull. Still shows some of the surface texture and scars the Bull picked up:

Stunning Charlie, very generous gifts my friend :) :thumbsup:
 
Time to bring this thread up again! Beautiful knives keep appearing!!
Among several knives I wheeled and dealed for at my club meeting yesterday is this exhibition grade, or salesman's grade Doctor's knife, by Fabyan Knife Co, Germany.
It has a scroll on the back of the blades touting the name "WELL KNOWN", perhaps a trade name. There is also a salesman's number on the back of the spatula.
My guess is that some medicine bottles in history had corks, hence the screw, but that's a guess.
I am arranging a Horn-themed display case, and this one definitely makes the cut!! (pun intended!!:))

dispatch184 dispatch184 - Drew kind sir- if you were to have just the one ever Rams Horn- YOU have my friend- Awesome Knife, I think even THE Master of Rams Horn- Mr. Ed Fowler would LOVE that one!

@wlfryjr Lyle- Whoa now matey- that Providence is a amazing Knife - LOVE it!!!

@meako - Nice Collection of Horn my friend- well done, it will be good reviewing this in a year and seeing the numbers you have then :D:thumbsup:

CrowCounty CrowCounty - I actually commented to myself about the 2nd and 3rd knife together looked light Northen Lights- then I read your post- two great minds eh!:rolleyes:

knowtracks knowtracks - Dave my friend, what an amazing gift to Charlie - those two examples are excellent Knives- I really like that Ford & Medley Sheepsfoot Jack- and yet that Vulcan is such an elegant knife as well, well deserved Charlie mate.

waynorth waynorth - Charlie That doctors Knife is a peach for sure, the handiest tool for the man who can cure, all you have to do is pay his bills, and with his Knife- he'll sort your Pills.( e-mail sent )

Here Is a Real neat Ibberson - but not so old, my guess would be 60's for this knife? possibly slightly earlier.... Jack- your thoughts my friend are greatly received.
Ibberson make good knives - no argument there, and this one doesnt disappoint, I'm sorry to repeat photos here Charlie...

EDIT: Just discovered!!! while cleaning the inside Liners with a Bamboo stick, cloth and Mineral Oil- My heart Lept...I am always looking for initials inside the Liners of these Ibbersons - well I got my Jewelers Loupe out- and ...well it didnt turn out to be Stans in intials...but this 21 - 36

Great thread, Waynorth, and with so many beautiful horn handled examples shown.
I'm a sucker for multi-colored horn and here are a few examples. A German Graef & Schmidt, and a John Petty from Sheffield.

Sorry, problem with photobucket???
