Buffalo horn is Ceratin ( As are fingernails), can be cut and carved with all the usual tools, can also be heated and formed using a press and formers ie to make Crooks etc.
Best file for removing volume is a farriers rasp l also use a butcher saw for thick cuts apart from that files rasps or riffles. For finishing decreasing grades of abrasives I go down to 1800 then use tee cut or Brasso (metal polish) .of course you can go down the rotary carving route using burrs & dentists drills.
