Raw Materials
As experienced knifesmith as well as designer and collector of high quality knives, we use only high quality materials to make our products. We legally acquire all natural materials such as horns, ivory, mother-of-pearl and sea turtle shells with the consent of the Royal Forest Department of Thailand.



Types of Handle Scales
Sea turtle shells Our sea turtle shells are very old. It has been kept for at least 60 years. They belonged to our grandfather as stuff animal collection. Some shells were bitten but most of them are in perfect condition. Sea turtle shells are naturally durable (it is natural protein as rhino horn). Their amber color and natural black patterns are very much suitable for the creation of collectible knives thanks to the natural value of the shells. Sea turtle shells are now rare and expensive because they are unavailable in general markets and their trade is illegal almost worldwide. We believe we are the only source of sea turtle shells in Thailand (limited material) Elephant ivory The ivory scales that we use to make our knives come from our own collection and also from regal suppliers. Most of them date back to 1958-1972. Elephant ivory scales make very beautiful and highly demanded knives but this raw material is costly and become rare material.
Our Ivory came from both Asia and African elephant. All source of our ivory must be regal and having government permission. Tropical stag horns All stag horns we use to create our high quality knives came from tropical stags of North and the Central rainforest of Thailand. Every raining season, mushroom hunters sell stag horns to us. It comes from stags that lose their horns when they are old ages. Stag horns have very beautiful patterns and the most durable. It is suitable material for functional knives as it is hard
and do not require special care. Gaur (Wild bull horns) and buffalo horns All gaur and buffalo horns as materials of handle scales come from local people and hunters. Some horns are as old as 80 years. Burnished gaur and buffalo horns are beautiful and glossy. They are durable and work well with water as stag horns. Ostrich leg bones and cow bones Ostrich leg bones are hard and durable. The polished bone will give glossy and look so similar to ivory that hardly to distinguish. Ostrich become popular as quite similar to ivory with much lower price. Our supplies come from ostrich farms around central of Thailand. Mammoth and bones All our mammoth ivory, teeth and bones are imported from many countries depend on quality. Many times we got the high quality mammoth from e-bay. Boar fangs We acquire boar fangs from our friends who are hunters. It always takes us a long wait to get a pair of boar fangs for making a knife. So when such a knife is completed, it usually ends up in our own collection. Boar fangs are beautiful and very suitable for single-blade knives. Crocodile teeth We use only the teeth of big crocodiles because we want big and hard teeth. Our supplies come from crocodile farms in Thailand. They are very unique material Varieties of woods Our wide range of old woods comes from Thai and Burma forests. Mainly we use core wood for its hardness and beauty patterns. We always keep our woods for over a year , let them dry and develop their durability to prevent cracks. Therefore, our wooden handle scales are crack-proof. However, some tiny crack would occur under extreme changes of temperatures which really rare to see this case. We also use Teak. Part of our Teak comes from the hulls of sank boats in Thai rivers for decades. The wood is robust and has very special beautiful patterns. Its color is unique and this kind of teak is really rare.
