Last month I received shipments of few Tamang knives that have a super
strong wooden handle made out of a special redish wood, Dhar.
The tree that produces this red colored wood grows in southern Nepal, a
flatland that resembles Louisiana. It is warm, humid and full of mosquitos.
The wood is so strong that it is used to make a Theki, which is a bell with a
direct connecton to the Nepalese occult. It is used to make a Sherpa
homemade brew, Jadnh, by ensuring fermentation.
The wood has several uses, including making wagon wheels for Gada, a
wagon pulled by oxen or water buffaloes. If this beautiful wood is strong
enough to be made into wagon wheels, it should be more than strong enough
for wooden knife handles.
This unusual redish wood makes the knives I have special and rare. It will
hold a special place in your collections.
