When talking about good quality knives, most Thai people think of “Aranyik knives” that are bought from Aranyik village in Tha Reu District, Ayutthaya . Few people know the truth that Ban Aranyik is not the place that produces Aranyik knives, but it is the name of the market and the gambling house. One of
most outstanding products is “Knives”.

everyone will pass on their way to Saraburi. The Aranyik Knives are so well-known that King Rama V went there many times to see how the knives are made firsthand. Even though the gambling houses were closed in the reign of King Rama V, the villagers in Ban Pai Nong and Ban Ton Pho have continuted to make “Aranyik knives” up until today.
It is said that the ancestors of residents of the Bang Pai Nong and Ban Ton Pho were Vientians from Laos who moved to settle in Thailand during
reign of King Rama II. Most of them were blacksmiths. When they came here, they found a good location with a big swamp. Pa Sak River and the bamboo forest were the best main fuel to forge the heated iron and the bamboo could also be used as a handle for large hammers or a knives. So they settled there to have a career of forging knives and have been there ever since.
In the past, the blacksmiths were
important for the agricultural community. Besides forging many kinds of knives used in the kitchen, swords and hazking knives, they used to forge hoes, spades, ploughshares and sickles. These were the most important tools for farming, so during the ploughing season, residents around these 2 villages would come to buy or bring their tools to be repaired.
Today these 2 villages still forge the knives even though most farmers have changed from using those tools to useing modern machine instead.
