The hilt is definitely horn, I can see from the damage that it is not wood. It certainly has a more greenish cast than the carabao horn from my Filipino pieces. The third picture down has the best representation of the actual color, though in actuality I wouldn't call it "green," maybe a green-brown or something similar.

I am not surprised that it may be a fairly modern piece, I figure I will try it out for a season as a camp knife.

Thanks,
