All of these knives are absolutely beautiful. I've always wanted a buffalo handle knife but just never gotten one, always opting for antler bone or wood, but now I think I need one. I have a question before I drop my money. How durable is horn? I carry and use my knives, and expect normal wear, but for those that use their knives, Is buffalo soft and easily scratched up, or prone to cracking or accelerated wear? And how does it age

Love the color on your horn, Dave!
How about a shot of the pile side horn (with similarly flattering lighting )?

Thanks, Dave!
Both sides are awesome. I admire the "luminescence" of the butt end on the mark side, but the vast blondness of the pile side is a nice surprise!
