O wow , dont know why i bother to post this, guess its just I like stuff like the truth & facts, rather than , imagination,supposition, old wives tales & fantasy. Close up photos particlarily of the end grain are neccasary to identify Rhino horn.

So many collectors seem unable to tell the differance between unusualy coloured & fiberous buffalo or goat horn & rhino.

{Guess that makes a few dealers happy though.

}

And after allAny horn thats realy dry will grab a sweaty paw in a fiberous thirsty manner!

If it rhino , Bukaran or some such, Its the differance between a $100 knife & a $1500 knife.

Good pics will tell the truth.
