steve66 3,078 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) Looks like buffalo horn to me. Granted I have only a photo to go on and I may be wrong. But it looks like any BH I have used for sticks to me, heat treated, pressed then cut out and shaped. One thing is for sure it will last a long time. Bit of T-cut and it will shine like a new shilling. TC Was thinking the same,Looks a nice catty Hopefully your out of hospital soon to test it Edited May 26, 2014 by steve66 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tyla 3,179 Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 I did the same with an identical horn thumb stick, pretty sure it is horn it looks identical to mine and mine was, but couldn't get on with it for some reason. I think it was too thick around the base of the forks and just didn't feel right to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
youcanthide...BANG 1,051 Posted May 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 i like the feel of it actually. plan is to shorten the forks an inch. extend the handle by capping it with some wood. then epoxy a pheasant pin on the front 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
