In the 70s & 80s, When some previously poor Yemini men, earned large sums in the Saudi oil industry, many poor quality blades & fittings were made, with rhino horn handles. They were for the local market for people who had not much expierience or even taste perhaps? but know had enough money to buy one with a "coverted" rhino handle.
