According to my sources, these Thai amulet knives were not forged from lek lai, they were forged from lek Numphee, steel can not be made from lek lai. It can not be forged into a blade because it is not really iron (Fe), but numphee can be used to make blades as it is a type of iron that can be made into high quality steel, there is a big difference.


Leknamphee


LekLai
