So I cant just hammer my hair into a horn? I have to put a bone in it before hand? Bummer.

Thank you for publicising this often misunderstood topic. I too would love a follow-up article please on 1.whether education is reducing the use of horn in Asian potions, and 2.whether highly desirable substitues for rhino horn jambiya are being marketed?

Great article; thank you. I’m doing some research on African rhino conservation, and looking at the impact of the TCM market on African rhino populations. Would love to see a follow-up article: is the latest science — denying the medicinal value of rhino horn — having any impact at all on China’s (and East Asia’s) demand for the horn? Many thanks.
