Laguiole Cutlery Set – Pressed Horn – 12 Piece – Brass Bolsters

About Zebu Horn:

Zebu horn possesses thermoplastic properties, enabling it to soften and become malleable when heated. This quality allows it to be bent, shaped, and molded into various forms, creating the distinctive pressed horn products in our collection. This technique is applied primarily to the lower part of the horn, while the tip remains unique and valuable.

In its raw state, zebu horn has a rough, dull surface. However, after sanding and polishing, the horn acquires a smooth, glossy finish, revealing its true colors. Although zebu horn can exhibit a wide range of shades, it is typically a light creamy hue, often streaked with white, brown, or black patches. The combination of versatility and unique aesthetic makes zebu horn a popular choice for creating captivating and functional items.
