    Default Source for horn scale material?

    Howdy,
    I have a couple of blades that are begging for some new horn scales. Their constant yapping is really starting to bother me , so I'm turning to ya'll for a little help.
    Ideally I would like to find some blonde and black horn in both 1/8" and 1/4" thickness. Also, they're bigger blades, so it would have to be 6"+ long.

    Does anyone know a good source?

    Thanks

    Default buffalo horns at ebay

    eBay Store: Search results for ATLANTIC CORAL ENTERPRISE.

    Paul, these folks always seem to have whole buffalo horns in stock, some as little as $14.99 + shipping for an entire horn. If you play your cards right, you can get one, take the best pieces and sell what's left for - you guessed it!, $14.99 + shipping...

    Hi Big Bubba!

    Masecraft has been mentioned several times as a source of black horn in 6" long blocks (1/2 and 1/4 inch thick). I've ordered it and it has worked well for me.

    I still don't know of a source of blonde horn blocks at least 6 inches long though. Hope this helped.

    How about the nearest cattle ranch?
