Horn handles are very traditional on the famous Laguiole!!
To have some to show off, it helps to have "Friends in French places"!!
(Merci!!)

They are both Himilian Imports. So far so good. Seem pretty well hardened.....

I have an unknown full tang knukri with very soft steel. These are much harder.

They cut well also. Better cutting performance than my old Busse Khukri! (Better geometry).

 

[RayseM]

Bigfattyt - I like it! The HI blades are as good as it gets. Mine work hard and slice all day.

Another two.

Those are all great Jack, but that last one WoW!! One of the reasons I quit working a lot in buffalo horn. Use to be pieces like that were easy to find, then not so much.

I really need one of these I'm smitten Jack. I would never have thought...

Do they come in paler shades of horn - maybe stripey?

That's really nice Meako, I have other knives in the same pattern, but without horn. This one is a bit larger though

Thanks a lot buddy I certainly don't blame you for that Dave, the way it twists and warp, and your ram's horn knives look fantastic. Those last two knives were actually samples, but the problem was they were different to all the other horn the cutler had in stock

That's very special Reminded me that I have this Stockman in horn by Stan too. He made it up with some old 'Shrade-Wostenholm' parts! Got a full range of his stamps on the brass liners
