I'm putting together an originals class persona for NCOWS. I'm going to be a buffalo hunter in 1875. I got
a picture of Antelope Jack, a tintype from the panhandle plains museum. This picture is in Encyclopedia of the
buffalo hunters, page 168, and Packing Iron, page 90. I'm basing my setup on this picture, but I'm having trouble
determining what his knife handle is made of. So my question is, what would the most common materials for a
carry knife handle in that period? I have a wooden ripping knife, a stag handle, and a bone handle. Thanks
