Description
| *Made from buffalo horn When you look at the picture or hold it in your hand, you would never know that it is made from buffalo horn unless you are told. When you ask a stranger what it is made of, they may say, "plastic? They will say, "Oh, I know what it is! Tortoiseshell, right?] But when I actually explain the material, they are surprised. The transparency of the material, the lightness when you hold it, and the beauty of the processing make it hard to imagine that it is made of buffalo horn. This product is made from horns left over as a byproduct of butchering Vietnamese buffaloes, which are raised in large numbers for meat and labor in Vietnam. The horns are cut with a machine called a band saw, soaked in oil to soften them, flattened, shaped, and so on. The horns are then cut with a machine called a band saw, soaked in oil to soften them, flattened, shaped, and so on. In Tirakita, we actually saw how this buffalo horn cutlery is made! [We visited a workshop in Vietnam that makes tableware out of buffalo horn!] You can read more about it in the following article. *Asian tableware. The beautiful transparency and exquisite hardness of this natural material can only be found in buffalo horn. The buffalo horn is soft to the touch and the gently curved handle makes it easy to hold in the hand. We hope you will use it with your Asian tableware. Buffalo horns are similar to our fingernails in that they soften when heated, so please do not soak them in boiling water or wash them in a dishwasher. |

■水牛の角から作られました
写真を見ても、実際に手に取ってみても、言われなければこれが水牛の角から作られているなんて判りません。知らない人に素材を聞くと「プラスチックかな？」、「あ、知ってる！ べっ甲でしょう？」なんて答えが返って来るのですが、実際に素材を説明するとビックリされます。素材の透明感や、持った時の軽さ、加工の美しさからは水牛の角だとは全く想像ができません。
この商品はベトナムで食肉用や労役用として数多く飼育されているベトナム水牛を肉にした際、副産物として角が余るのですが、その余った角を使って作られている一品です。
角をバンドソーと呼ばれる機械で切って、油につけて柔らかくして、平たくしてから形を作って…といろいろな工程を経て作られます。ティラキタでは実際にこの水牛の角のカトラリーがどのようにして作られるかを見てきました！！
「ベトナムの水牛の角で食器を作る工房を訪ねました！」
に詳しい記事がございます。
■アジアンな食器です
自然素材ならではの美しい透明感や、絶妙な硬さの使用感は水牛の角ならでは。水牛の角は口当たり柔らかで、持ち手はゆるやかにカーブしていて手にそって持ちやすくなっています。ぜひ、アジアンな食卓に合わせてお使いください。
水牛の角は私達の爪と似ていて、熱を加えると柔らかくなる特性がありますので、熱湯につけたり、食洗機での洗いは控えてご使用くださいませ。
