buffalo horn

Prairie beast's weapon

Buffalo horn is the horn of a buffalo, used as a material for crafting knife handles, buttons, combs, jewelry, and decorative objects.

The material is valued for its natural patterns, durability, and ability to take a polish.

In some cultures, buffalo horns serve as drinking vessels or ceremonial objects: a dagger with a buffalo horn handle.
