Horns and defences

Horns and defenses are natural materials that have long been used in the manufacture of quality knives. The animals most commonly used for their horns and defences are buffalo, zebu, ram, phacochère, springbok, blesbock, kodu, cow, oryx and impala.

The horns and defences of these animals are very strong and wear resistant, making them the best materials for high quality knives. They also have unique patterns and textures that make them very much appreciated by artisans.

The buffalo, for example, is known for its massive and curved horns with complex patterns and colour nuances. The zebu, on the other hand, is appreciated for the density and strength of its horns, which can be used for making knife sleeves. The ram, phacochère, springbok, blesbock, koudou, oryx and impala also offer superior horns and defences, each with its own patterns and characteristics.

In addition to their strength and beauty, horns and defenses are also very easy to work with, allowing artisans to create complex and detailed designs. They are often used in the manufacture of knife sleeves, but can also be used for blades.

In short, horns and defenses are natural materials that are highly appreciated in the production of high quality knives. The buffalo, zebu, ram, phacochère, springbok, blesbock, koudou, cow, oryx and impala offer superior horns and defences, each with its own unique features and patterns. They are easy to work and allow artisans to create detailed and complex designs for luxury knives and unique pieces.
