Ankrom Exotics

Ankrom Exotics is a small, privately owned, business that has been operating since 2008. However, that wasn't when this all began or started. Pat's father is a Knifemaker and although Pat didn't follow in his fathers' footsteps, an interest began to grow in the various materials that could be used for the handles of those knives. That interest matured into buying various species of wood & then onto improving upon nature, itself. He began testing different stabilizing methods to find a process that would create woods that were more resistant to enviormental changes and stronger than they were before this process was applied. He also wanted to make it so that it would finish much nicer & easier. It took awhile (and a lot of experimenting) before he finally perfected the method/process we currently use today.
