    Where do you get horn in an appropriate length? The stuff I have run across is usually for knife handles and tops out at about 5" long.

    I learned not to click links with "extra long" and "dick" in them - Ah sorry couldn't help it.

    But yeah I've been a customer with them. They have a really nice site.
