From my experience Rhino can be quite rough if damaged or scuffed . 
 
The horn can be finished quite smooth . 
 
Rhino, to me, feels warmer than Gading . 
 
The best part; Rhino horn gets sticky when wet; this is a good attribute for the hilt of any edged weapon . 
 
Probably makes great pistol grips too .
