... And in my case the weirdly huge shiny recent looking rivets going through it.
 (As an aside, I'm not great at identifying materials, but given the color I've wondered if they are old red bone knife scales, rather than stag.) |

I replaced the grips on my shamshir and I used buffalo horn, which I purchased in a Pet shop where portions were been sold as dog chews.
The job worked out well and the horn polished very easily with sand paper. I uses a bushman saw blade to cut the horn roughly as any finer saw teeth blocked up too quickly and I shaped the horn with a power file, a smelly job as it sort of burns through the horn. The blade on mine was not as fantastic as yours well done on a fine acquisition. Regards Ken |
