Premium Black Buffalo Horn Cutlery Set – Handmade Knife, Fork & Spoon

Handcrafted Excellence from Sambhal, India

This premium buffalo horn cutlery set is handmade in Sambhal, a hub of traditional horn craftsmanship. Each piece is shaped, carved, and polished by skilled artisans using ethically sourced buffalo horn. Natural horn’s keratin-based composition gives exceptional strength, a warm tactile feel, and a luxurious black finish unique to every piece.

Material Properties – The Science of Buffalo Horn

Buffalo horn is composed of dense keratin layers, making it naturally durable, non-reactive, and resistant to moisture. When polished, it develops a signature deep-black sheen. Unlike plastic, horn is biodegradable, renewable, and carries natural antibacterial qualities.

Manufacturing Process

Each utensil is carved from a single horn block, shaped by heat, hand-finished with fine abrasives, and polished to a semi-gloss finish. The edges are smooth, ergonomic, and designed for comfortable dining.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Sambhal artisans use generations-old techniques. No two pieces ever look identical—each retains its natural horn grain and elegant dark luster.

FAQ

Q1. Are buffalo horn utensils safe for food use?

Yes. Natural horn is non-reactive, BPA-free, and contains no artificial chemicals. For export markets that require certification, we can provide food-contact testing (SGS, FSSAI, or region-specific labs). The utensils are ideal for dry and semi-wet foods and safe for everyday dining in restaurants, hotels, and homes.

Q2. Can this cutlery set be customized for private label brands?

Absolutely. We offer full OEM/ODM options including custom lengths, engraved branding, colored finishes, unique shapes, and custom packaging in kraft, premium boxes, or retail-ready designs. Bulk buyers often request logo engraving or thematic shapes for brand identity or hotel chains.

Q3. How long do buffalo horn utensils last with proper care?

With correct care, horn cutlery lasts several years. Handwash only, dry immediately, and occasionally oil the surface to maintain shine. Avoid dishwashers, long soaking, or very hot liquids. These guidelines preserve the horn’s natural keratin structure and prevent warping.
