Buffalo Horn Scale – Natural Amber Brown | Polished Knife Handle Material

The Buffalo Horn Scale – Natural Amber Brown from HornImpex embodies the artistry and sustainable excellence of Indian horn craftsmanship. Each piece is precision-cut from ethically sourced water buffalo horn, offering a warm amber-brown hue with translucent striations that enhance the look of any handcrafted product. Favoured by knife makers, cutlery brands, and global handicraft importers, these horn scales combine durability, beauty, and ethical sourcing for the international market.

Material and Origin

Crafted in Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh (India)—a world-renowned center for horn and bone handicrafts—each scale is made from carefully selected buffalo horn. Our artisans flatten, cure, and polish the raw horn using controlled heat and hand-finishing techniques, producing export-grade materials with natural color variation and strength.

Unique Design and Features

The amber-brown translucency highlights natural grain patterns, making each scale visually distinct. Available in custom thicknesses and dimensions, these slabs are ideal for knife handle scales, tool grips, inlays, jewelry bases, and luxury crafts. The material machines easily and polishes to a high gloss, offering both functional and aesthetic appeal.

Functionality and Usage

These horn scales are preferred by custom knife makers, cutlery houses, and artisans seeking durable, natural alternatives to synthetic handle materials. Their toughness ensures a solid grip and long-term stability, while their warm tones complement both classic and contemporary designs.
