Welcome to the forum!
Please note that we can't comment on pieces which are being offered for sale. If this is yours, please post a close-up from the top of the hilt. Despite many myths, only the endgrain will prove what this was made of. (Try the search function for more details and examples.) Regards, Kai |

Kai is correct that the end grain is the best true proof of rhino, but a thats not Rhino horn.

Kai is correct please let us know if this piece is in your possession? If it is not and it is being offered for sale we can't discuss on the open forum. Please read the rules if you have not done so. |

I just checked eBay and this jambiya is still an active auction. So for now this thread is closed.
