Rondin and Crown of European Stag

The warmth of its natural hues, the striated texture and solidity of elaphe deer antler make this material a favorite of fine cutlers. This organically shaped log lends a wild and original dimension to any handcrafted creation.

Scientific name: Cervus elaphus. The red deer is one of Europe's largest cervids. Its antler - the term used to describe its antlers - is a dense keratinized material, ranging in color from cream to golden brown, depending on the season and exposure. It comprises the cylindrical part of the antler and the webbed crown characteristic of adult deer. Its density varies between 1.6 and 1.9 g/cm³, giving it a natural resistance to shock and wear.

In cutlery, deer antler is a timeless classic for handles with a unique natural look and comfortable grip. It can be sawn, drilled and sanded easily with wood or metal tools. Its naturally grooved surface and irregular shape add character to every creation.
