5 inch Black Buffalo Horn Orange Gold Streaks Scales Handle Set Pair Handles Material for Knife Making Blanks Blades Knives Custom See product description below for tips on how to work with this buffalo horn. Approximate Length: 5 inches, Approximate Width: 1.5 inches, Approximate Thickness: 3/8 inch Use regular woodworking tools to cut and shape this material. Try to leave as much of the surface area untouched as possible to retain as much of the colored dye as possible. Due to the density of buffalo horn, the dye is only able to penetrate about 1mm deep into the material. Also please note that any cut or sanded portions will temporarily appear gray-- just polish and buff these areas to return them to a beautiful, deep, glossy sheen. Every set of scales WILL differ in pattern, texture, color and shape. Each is cut from naturally occurring horn/bone. Create your own beautiful knife handles for your own custom knives!
