Rally 'Round the Ram Horn!

Dave, when I was looking through the pics of the blue and red liners, I thought to myself that I would love to see how green liners would look. Wouldn't you know it, you've got some on the work bench. I hope we get to see pictures of the finished product! I just love your products!

I'm not crazy about rough ram's horn, if I'm honest. The smooth stuff is very intriguing, though!
 
Green comes through with the most color, most often Shawn. Problem is they've sold so darn fast I've never took any pics. However click on the Instagram link in my signature line. Then scroll down till ya see the blue Rodeo pictured above. Just a few pics below that is a lady in our booth wearing a green one after she bought it back in July. Kinda a cool pic cause she's got a greenish shirt on and they compliment each other pretty good. Even smooth sheephorn is a great handle material. Its grippy, gets grippier when wet and is tough. I've had a buffer grab a horn handled knife out of my hand and toss it on the concrete floor at 80mph (a knife shop can be an interesting place at such times) and I'm thinking dang gonna have to chisel that handle off and start over. Then I go pick up the knife and I can't find where it impacted the floor. Its that tough. Seen it more than once. Now I hold on to em tighter.
 
Here's black:

Seems like it just deepens the natural color of the sheephorn.

Thanks for the information, Dave! I would have never guessed Ram's Horn to be so tough, but I guess it does live a tough life when it's still attached to the animal!

I found the pic on Instagram, and you weren't kidding about the color coming through. Its very vibrant! I think the blue and green are my favorites, but that red has a wonderful glowing warmth to it. It's a fascinating use of the material, Dave. Thanks, again.
 
Kinda purty not in person too Mark! Nice knife. That stag ain't particularly ugly neither.

This thread was so interesting that I had to get a knife with ram's horn. I went the way of a Marbles toothpick. I am very happy with the knife and the rough scales.
