Combination of natural translucency and rough texture present in the sheep horn leads to an interesting combination for a knife handle. I added a tapered layer of stabilized black shedua between the red liner and sheep horn for an additional interest. Blade is a 3 1/2 inch tapered tang mirror polished 1/4 inch thick D2 tool steel. Rockwell 61C.
