Handle dinosaurbone stabilised BY RAFFIR

Fossilized dinosaur bone is one of the rarest and most fascinating materials available for cutlery. Derived from prehistoric reptiles that lived tens of millions of years ago, it has a trabecular structure - a network of cavities and mineralized bone walls - that gives it incomparably complex patterns. The natural hues, ranging from earthy brown to deep black and shades of ochre and grey, make each handle a truly unique piece.

BY RAFFIR stabilization is a benchmark Scandinavian technique: fossil bone is placed in a vacuum, then impregnated to the core with a high-performance resin. This process consolidates the fossil's porous structure, homogenizing the material and guaranteeing excellent mechanical and dimensional stability. The result is a composite material that combines the authenticity of a prehistoric fossil with the strength of a modern material, perfectly suited to use in cutlery.

In the workshop, BY RAFFIR stabilized dinosaur bone is easily worked with conventional woodworking tools: milling, progressive sanding to fine grain, then paste polishing to reveal the depth of the fossil patterns. Its durability is exemplary, even with intensive use.

Mercorne's dinosaur bone handles are offered as 2 matched plates: the pattern on the first plate matches that on the second, for a perfectly harmonious visual effect. The price quoted is for the complete handle (both plates).

We have specialized in materials for knife handles since 1992.
