I've only just recently started working with Buffalo horn and have tried hand cutting the scales. That stuff really stanks when cutting (think burnt hair, which is what horn really is IIRC - hair). Joe Chandler gave me a tip to use water and cut the horns while wet.

I stopped cutting and am waiting to take the slabs to someone who has a bandsaw since I want to rip the slabs in half.
