The story of the Raffir material:
When two Danes, Jacob Schou Madsen and Michael Sourt Mouritson, were 13 years old in 1998, their big hobby was amateur knife making. They devoted all their free time to it. When they came of age in 2003, they started a company in which they invested all their money and savings. With the money, despite their parents' concerns, they traveled to Russia, where they prepaid for mammoth tusk fossils. When the tusks actually arrived, they cut them up and sold them to other knifemakers. They then invested some of the money in further purchases of tusks, but some of it was used to develop their own technology to stabilise the wood.
By the end of 2003, they were marketing their first self-stabilized wood, which they produced in Jacob's parents' garage. Years of further development followed, using modern technology to combine fragile natural materials that would not normally be used for knife handles with a variety of resins and binders. This is how the Raffir material was gradually developed. The company was eventually named after it in 2014 and Raffir became its main product. Originally a garage company, the company has grown into a large plant, from which Raffir is shipped all over the world.
The new Predators are made of Raffir Composites. It consists of plant fibres that give it a bright colour, patterns and textures. It is complemented by brass, bronze and aluminium, making the material machinable and corrosion resistant. It is then all connected by a polymer resin that adds contrast and 3D depth. The result is a beautiful semi-transparent, high contrast material - Raffir.
The Raffir knife blade is durable and comfortable in the hand. Its ergonomic shape in conjunction with the other parts gives it a beautiful and sophisticated shape.
Predator Raffir knives can be ordered in green, red or blue.

Mikulášovice, still called "Nixdorf" in the 18th century, is undoubtedly the place where the cutlery industry in Bohemia began. This small border town lies in the northernmost point of the Czech Republic. There were many itinerant knife cutters in the area who were noticed by the merchant Ignaz Rösler and employed in his first knife factory.
Initially, the factory employed 100 workers, but by 1819 the number had doubled. The economic success of this factory led other inhabitants to set up other knife-making enterprises and auxiliary trades, and soon most of the citizens of Mikulášovice and the surrounding villages were connected with knife-making. Mikulášovice came to be known as the 'Czech Solingen'.
