Getting close to being done.
Question:
How do you seal them as they are a creamy white/gray and I dont want them to darken and stain with hand grime.
Thanks

What kind of horn are you using? Many years ago I made a "Green River" skinner for my Brother-in-law. I used buffalo scales for it's handle. He has used it to skin numerous deer and even a buffalo he shot several years ago. To this day the scales appear the same as when I made it in 1995. I would try a wood sealer on a piece of scrap and see how it penetrates. Other than that I wish I could be of more help. Now finish that knife and post pictures!!!:)

You can thin superglue with acetone and apply it. Pretty much impregnable then.
