6/8 French point worked spine Wacker in unique horn

This is one of my favorite Wacker's. It is a 6/8 French point with an etched spine and some blade etching and gold wash. It was originally in ebony but my last order of horn had a couple very unique pieces in it. I decided to keep them for me. I thought this blade would look nice in them.

The scales are black buffalo with streaks of white through out. They got a good buffing to bring them to a nice high gloss shine. The pins are 1/16 brass rod with brass over stainless washers and an acrylic pearl wedge. Turned out quite nicely IMHO.

That is some real purtty scales. They are real unique and unlike your run of the mill horn. Great work!

Wow, thats a pretty wild bit of horn there, very unique, very cool.

Great job! I'm curious though. I've never heard of black buffalo. Is it a breed of bison or a true buffalo?

Came out great looking!

I think water buffalo actually, their horns come in different colours (black, blonde, brown, ...).

Those are very nice scales. Beautiful blade as well !!!!
