Wow...those are really nice!

I like them alot and they seem like a deal for 50 bucks. Ajax and others sell buffalo horn grips for more than that and they don't look nearly that good.

apparently the guy makes them from the solid piece of the horn to eliminate any shrinking, which is a common problem with this type of material....from what I hear.

Anyways I'll probably order a set sometime soon....
