Ethiopian Gurade sword

Hello,

Thank you for the advices about horn parasites !!!
I'll take care !

I knew that bovidae, capridae have a bone under the horn ( and not the rhino),
but I found strange that the sword maker choose a piece with such a big hole consciously , especially a common buffalo horn piece !!

Is it common ??
Isn't the hilt and the sword less solid like that ?
I think it was a real 19th century fighting sword ? ( what do you think ??)
it's sabotage for me ''create'' it like that !?
