The #1 or A-grade African porcupine quills range from
about 3" to over 11" long and are sorted by length. The average
quill is about 5" to 10" long. The tips are good and they do not have any significant damage. The quills are cleaned and sterilized. These quills can be used for fishing
bobbers.
The white quills are completely white or have very little black on them. The quills are cleaned and sterilized. These quills can be used for fishing
bobbers.
The ultra thin quills are thicker than porcupine hair, but are thinner than most people
like. The quills are cleaned and sterilized.
The B-Grade quills are a lower quality. These quills may be bent, flattened, have broken ends, or otherwise flawed. They tend to have a stubby end instead of a sharp point, may have a more muted brown and white coloring instead of crisp black and white, and are often not as clean as the A-grade quills. This grade is what most other firms sell as A-grades. They are sorted into thick and thin quills. The quills are cleaned and sterilized. They are ideal for cutting into small pieces or for use as is.
