Default Kukri restoration help

This kukri was brought back from the China-Burma-India theater by a friend of mine's uncle after WWII.

The veteran recently died and this was found in a trunk in his garage.

The grip is too far gone to try to fix, so, I proposed to him that I carve a new one out of water buffalo horn, which is what the original appears to be made of.

I thought I had some of this horn stashed away, but I can't find it!

Are there any sources out there where I can find some? Or, if any forumites out there may have a piece they would be willing to sell, I, and my friend who owns
it, would be appreciative!

In a perfect world, a piece that is solid, 5" by 2" by 1" is the ideal! Those dimensions, but hollow would work.

Please PM if you can help.
