Unbreakable Stainless Steel Tepi – Precision, Strength & Durability

This powerful and resilient Tepi, crafted by Ruddison Vale, a renowned Kuntanawa artist and Rapé producer, is designed for precision, durability, and a modern aesthetic. Made from stainless steel, epoxy resin, and woven wax cord, this robust ceremonial tool is unbreakable, with the steel components carefully welded together to ensure maximum strength and longevity. Unlike traditional wooden or bamboo Tepis, this sleek, polished metal design offers a smooth and efficient airflow, allowing for a controlled and precise application of Rapé.

The 8mm diameter steel tube is engineered for versatility, making it suitable for both gentle and forceful applications. The angle between the two sections is approximately 45 degrees, providing an ergonomic fit and comfortable handling. The compact and sturdy build ensures that this Tepi is highly durable, easy to transport, and ideal for both personal and ceremonial use. Whether used for subtle, steady administration or a more intense blow, the smooth interior surface minimizes resistance, delivering the medicine with accuracy and efficiency.

Adorned with green and black wax cord and decorative metal ornaments, this Tepi is not just a high-performance tool but also a piece of art, reflecting the sacred craftsmanship and tradition of the Kuntanawa people. Each piece is handmade in Acre, Brazil, carrying the ancestral knowledge and spiritual dedication of its creator.

As a handcrafted item, variations in finish and detailing may occur, making each Tepi unique in both design and energy. This unbreakable steel Tepi is a reliable, long-lasting addition to any Rapé practitioner's collection, offering a perfect balance of strength, elegance, and precision.
