You could try making the hole slightly undersize then boiling to soften it and forcing it on, but I'd experiment on a spare piece first.

Both seem viable.
When I'm putting a wooden handle on files I occasionally heat the tang and push it into the drilled hole. It seems to burn itself into it but you need to push fairly hard. And that's using pine handles. Do you think this could be a possible method? I've never worked with horn in this way before and aren't to sure how it'd behave. Also I don't want to mess with the temper either.
