Ram's Horn and Buffalo Horn Handles

I have been interested in Ram's Horn and Buffalo Horn lately. I have a Buffalo Horn ordered but I do not have a Ram's horn knife.

What do you guys think of these Handles? Show some pictures please.

Are they really made of Ram and Buffalo horn?

It's a Custom by Fred Durio. He lives around here. You can find him at AG. Russell.com, under Cuttingedge, knives made to order. I'll try get you a better picture, when my camera problems are over. No, I don't have a Kissing Crane, in Rams Horn.

So Robert, have you heard of the Ram's Horn in Kissing Crane? I wonder if its from Germany or China?

Ken, in 2006 Canal Street put buffalo horn on a muskrat, a folding hunter, and a D'Holder fixed blade for us. They were all beautiful and had the carmel/white coloring throughout many of them.

No Ken, I haven't heard of vintage Kissing Cranes from Germany with Rams Horn handles.

This is a mustang trapper model 10305 with rams horn. This was a gift from my brother ( I do wish people would stop giving me knives LOL) It was made in China and sold by Sports Cutlery out of Riviera Beach, Florida. It may be Chinese, but it has a nice blade snap and no wobble.Overall, it is very well made, and I'm sure not ashamed to carry it in my pocket.

I've shown this one before. This is my own custom, with water buffalo horn scales.These scales are pretty much pure black, but the scales are available with streaks of white in them, which are also very nice.
