Tapered Tang Drop point D2 and buffalo horn
A few years back I discovered buffalo horn handles, I guess they became my favorite or one of them anyway, as I made a lot of knives with Buffalo horn scales and brass accents, I still have a weakness for that combination, I have not really used it in a while, I picked these two scales out of the big bin in the show room of Jantz the other day and put them on this knife. I hit pay dirt with the white streaking as they had no sign of it in the raw form. To me Buffalo horn is a little difficult to work with compared to some but it finishes great, it has a tacky quality when it gets wet, and is very very stable once on the knife. Buffalo horn pared with D2 one tough combination! I glitched on a couple stamping in the middle of this sheath, it still looks OK, I guess, it proves its hand made, yeah that's it. This one will be hard to let go....lol.
