I have a really old carving set that's come down from my grandfather
to me. The handles have narrow, longitudinal cracks. Can these be
repaired and, if so, how?
I'm worried that using glue and clamping will damage the horn. Any and
all ideas appreciated.

Have them checked out, if in fact they are antiques you should probably put
them away and protect them. A new set probably will work better and the
cracks don't get any worse on the antiques.
