GT I think I would just go with the flow and see what happens to the flakes with the natural oils from your hands . Knives with Rams Horn handles have been used for many years. There may be something that you can put on it , but i do not know what would be best. I have heard a couple of different things , but can not suggest anything.

I love the pics here, my favorite place to just come and look or throw up a pic or two myself. I've used mineral oil on horn before, buffalo and ram, it'll give some life back to the horn and help with future flakin' issues, the only thing I'm not crazy about is that it'll replace any natural oils in it and you'll have to continue to give it an occasional wipe or it'll dry up. It's like usin' Armourall, once you use it your car becomes addicted to it, same with the horn and mineral oil. It's only a bandaid, time will eventually have it's way with the horn and all we can do is slow it down and watch.
Here's the one I'm carryin' today, a gift from a member here, (thank's Scott) since the shoulder surgery I have been confined to the house with my right arm strapped to my side so my needs have been minor...
...
I wish I could help you with the rams horn problem,
GT. Maybe you could contact a manufacturer?
...
Like most days, I've got my baby's Peanut on me.
Harry & Ted & Shawn, thanks for the input on my ram's horn issue.
Ted, I hope your shoulder rehab and recovery goes down without a hitch! :thumbup: How long do you have to keep the arm immobile before you can start building it up?
Shawn, one of the many great things about having a kid in the house is that you get to play with some cool toys!
...
Thanks Gary, BEAUTIFUL day/evening here and all are fed and headed home, we had a great time. Very nice Canoe coral you have going there, you have most all cover options covered

A yellow bone "Day's Work" for me...
And a North Dakota sunset from last night:thumbup:
Thanks for the canoe compliment, Paul. Glad to hear that your get-together was a success, and that amazing sunset photo confirms your claim of what a beautiful day (and Day's Work) it was.
Unfortunately, I do not share in the good fortune. I have yet to earn my turn sitting in the recliner of my sunset years.
One day, if I am lucky...

Lovely looking Pruner! Fantastic character in that horn!
And, thank you for the compliment.
Thanks, Bill. I hope you can enjoy most of the work days between now and the sunset years!

GT, no tomatoes were harmed in the making of that photograph.

Got my Davison with me today, and thought I'd add to the Canoe Fever!!
:thumbup:
Thanks, Jack. The Davison is devastating, and I'm impressed that the Queen lets you use her canoe occasionally! :thumbup:
Bob, that drop point AGR lockback Barlow is hypnotic! :thumbup:

Impressive SAK/lanyard, Brett!
And I'm not a fixed blade guy, but several times I've considered making an exception for a pretty puukko! :thumbup:
Well said Cory! I feel the same way about both of you guys. :thumbup:
Carried these two today and used the beer scout to help celebrate a Michigan victory........Thanks Paul.
Thanks, Mark, and congrats on the Wolverines big win! :thumbup:
Thanks for the words, Mark. It's an honor to be thought of in the same manner as someone like GT.
Today I decided that this one had been sitting on my desk long enough, and it got carried along with my 49:
I really can't convey how grateful and humbled I feel to have received this knife. Thanks again, Kris.
Goodness gracious, that's quite a knife, Cory!!
:thumbup: And I appreciate your comment, but I've been trying to emulate you during most of my time on The Porch.
Starting my week with my Lick Creek Barlow and Taylor's Eye Witness Sheepsfoot
Have a good week everyone :thumbup:
Something old, something new!! :thumbup::thumbup:
