Deere
Cervids are a family of mammals that includes deer, elk and reindeer. Among the different species of deer, antlers from European and Sambar deer are often used to make cutlery.
The European stag, also known as the red deer, is the largest species of deer in Europe. It is easily recognized by its branched antlers, which can measure up to a meter in length. European stag antler is prized for its hardness and strength, making it ideal for the manufacture of knife handles and other cutlery accessories.
Sambar deer, on the other hand, is a species of deer found mainly in Asia. Sambar antlers are also highly prized for cutlery, thanks to their fine texture and distinctive reddish color. Sambar antler knife handles are particularly appreciated for their rustic, natural look.
Each piece is unique, giving our handcrafted creations a touch of originality. What's more, the branched structure of deer antlers makes it possible to create sculptural objects with organic forms, offering a distinctive aesthetic.
In terms of functionality, antler stands out for its strength and durability. It can be used to make knife handles, tool handles or accessories such as buttons or jewelry. Its strength enables us to create robust, reliable parts that can withstand the stresses of everyday use.
