Rough Rider Handle Material Question

I recently got a Rough Rider (not Ryder) muskrat with some really nice handles that I haven't seen on a RR before. There is no model number on the knife, and I would like to find out what they call this one--I'm interested in finding perhaps a stockman or whittler with the same handles, if they made one.

Looks like some form of horn, but that is only a guess. Looks a bit like a horn one i have that is a Marbles. But i'm no expert, others will be better informed. Nice little knife though, and looks like it would slice like a razor. :)

Hard to tell from the pictures, but it does look like some type of rams horn.

Just to clarify, the blades are kind of translucent--the (sort-of) parallel lines you see are actually deep in the material, not on the surface. If it's a bone material, it's pretty darn cool.
