was wondering how do you cut the horn when making slivers for nocks,bandsaw,hacksaw????

Table top bandsaw for me.  Fine toothed blade.  Works perfectly.

I clamp the shaft in my wood vice-straight up and vertical. Then I use a handsaw. Usually I use a hacksaw to make a pilot cut then use a 2 or 3 blades clamped together depending on the width of the insert. BTW sometimes I leave a bit of insert "proud" as an index. Sometimes I don't. :) Jawge
