Very cool looking knife!  I love the sub-hilts to begin with, add a bison horn handle (or water buffalo), and I am drooling over it.

Mosaic pin, a good sized solid bolster, hollow ground blade...  Yep.  Significant lusting going on here.

Very nice acquisition!  Congratulations!

Damascus blade (1095 and 15N20), brass guard/bolster, sheep horn handle scales, mosaic pins, brass pommel.  Unless you upgraded the sheep horn to buffalo horn or fossilized mammoth (teeth, bone, or tusk), I do not think you could make a knife more suited to my tastes.  Just wanted to share my latest acquisition with you.

I have to agree with your knife assessment - that is a beauty. It's hard to to tell..is that brass bolsters and pommel or SS?

Yepper, the kid here is drooling with envy - good score on this one my friend.
