I have a trip to Thailand coming up... any suggestions for interesting knives there?
Which knives did you mean Keith? I've used just about every brand they make in Thailand at one time or another.
[[/I]Where do you get kom kom carbon? I thought they only had a stainless line.
Thanks all for the input.
I think I'll look out for a heavy cleaver for bone work.
Maybe something for the garden as well... check the current Aranyik catalogue... some fine looking tools in there!

The only problem with Aranyik.com is he is usually out of stock. Only goes to Thailand once a year or something like that. I bought a very large natural Thai water stone off him about 2 months ago when he came back from his most recent trip.
Ordered the Deep embossed double star Aranyik Chopper. 7.25 X 3.5 4mm thick. 620 grams around 1lb 5oz. 5160 high carbon steel. 35.00 free shipping. Looks to have good geometry for a medium weight cleaver. Looking forward to putting it to the test it's a pretty cool looking blade.
Try exploring all the shops in the huge market north of the American consulate. There is a pretty good knife shop in the Warowat market and elderly lady that sells knives off a blanket in one of the entrances too.
