Horn is one of the traditional and original material used for the handles. It is a natural raw mat-
erial which grows again. However, cattle is nowadays often breeded without horns so this product
is running short.

It is important to know that generally two different qualities of horn exist. The lower part of the buf-
falo horn also called "tube" or "corne cache" is hollow, as it grows on the bone-tenon of the skull.
The tip is massive and thus also more robust. The proceeds of the tip compared to the proceeds
of the remaining part are substantially lower and hence more expensive. When horn is called
"genuine horn" one can be sure that it is horn from the lower part. The horn from the tip is spec-
ially marked and named "partie plaine".

Our range offers three versions: Noir (black), LEO (brown-spotted) and MIEL (honey).
