Salaams Congoblades Oh ya the hilt looks like it is from the same workshops. The blade from another source.

It is not Rhino on the latest Saif.

It is interesting to note its well travelled provenance.

Salaams~ Looking at the blow up picture of the hilt I would reshoot and say buffalo or some other horn from the less well known Zanzibari Rhinocrocopigodile. .
