Nice piece. Can we see the blade please?

Lovely grain on the rhino horn.

Have you treated it to make sure any dermistids are dead?

Thank you. I actually have not, but I should. Would putting it in the freezer for a few hours work?

At least 5 days at - 20c normally does it, although some museums say should then be thawed out of another 5 days then another 5 day freeze.

Watch out for condensation pooling on thawing.
