Two-material black horn and bone knives for tobacconists
Deep black on one side, natural white on the other: the horn and bone folding knife catches the eye from the tobacconist's door. NKM, supplier to tobacco shops since 1982, has added it to its Laguiole Bougna line to give counters a graphic reference, halfway between wood and full horn.

Counter question
Is the black-and-white contrast identical on every piece?
No: horn and bone are natural, so the joint between the two shades and the grain vary slightly, giving each knife its own pattern.
