Title: ISO of sheep horn/bone slabs for knife making
Post by: dylanholderman on September 13, 2018, 10:22:06 pm

hey guys i'm looking for some thick/flat bone or sheep horn pieces for my KITH knife.
let me know if you can help me out,
 for trade i've got some nice bamboo arrow shafts,
 various handle woods,
 steel trade points,
and there  might even be some steel knife blanks knocking around that i could finish up for some one if there's interest.

What kind of bone, and how long and thick?  I may have some beef leg bone (read chewed dog bones) laying around, or in the garage that might work.  Pm me.

I’ve got some horn laying around the garage. You want them? It’s raw horn.

hey sorry it took me a bit to reply (i had my brothers wedding to attend :))

i'm not too particular about the type of horn or bone but i need one side or close to it ( i dont have much in the way of power equipment to flatten stuff) if possible i'd like two pieces 2''x 2'' and 3/8'' thick. but i can make 1 3/4'' x 1 1/2'' work

It’s quite literally raw horn. I don’t know if it’s sheep horn or not though.

Send me a pic I got permission from a friend to use his bandsaw so I might be able to make them work if it’s thick enough
