Luang Pho Dam's medical knife is number 1 in the medical knife line.
The doctor's knife of Luang Pho Dam, also known as "The knife that defeats warriors" Luang Por Dam created the magic knife to prevent bullies who often got tattoos, cast spells, bathed in herbs, believed their bodies would be invulnerable, or had amulets that they believed would protect them, and then had a habit of bullying the villagers.
Luang Por Derm studied the knowledge of the medicine knife from Luang Por Kham of Wat Khao Kaew, Phu Yuak Khiri District, Nakhon Sawan Province. He created the medicine knife in the first era. He created a large knife for his elephant trainers, which had a handle and sheath about one cubit long. It was called Luang Por Derm's elephant trainer knife. Later, he created a smaller knife, portable, and small enough to fit in a shirt pocket.
Luang Por Derm's magic knife is packed with universal Buddhist virtues, consisting of Itthije powder mixed with his hair cut on the 15th day of the waxing moon, and small silver, gold, and niello Takrut sheets with inscriptions, cut to fit the knife's guard, and placed in the knife handle, sealed tightly with lac. It is outstanding in protecting against black magic, protecting oneself from enemies, expelling possessed spirits, solving the curse of invulnerability, and protecting against venomous snakes and fanged animals. There are many stories about "miracles".

A cast statue of Luang Pho Dam, Nong Pho Temple
In 2482, a stamped image of Luang Por Dam and an oval coin were created by Wat Nong Pho, created on the occasion of Luang Por Dam's 82nd birthday. The group of disciples, led by Mr. Pradit Limprayoon, a railway employee and Luang Por Dam's top disciple, contacted the stamping factory in Bangkok.
The amulets made at that time were made of two types: brass and alpaca or spoon and fork, because the factory used goat-brand spoons and forks, which were melted and rolled into metal before being stamped with the image of Luang Por Dam.
The production of the Luang Por Dam amulet was discontinued in 2490, four years before Luang Por Dam passed away. Luang Por Dam told Luang Por Noi that it was enough. He had already made many amulets.
Therefore, the last molded Buddha image is the type called the broken mouth block because there is a crack at the mouth of Luang Pho Dam and the tight neck and big head block.

Footprints of Luang Pho Dam
During World War II, it was a difficult time. Food was scarce and expensive, the value of the currency was low, and the economy was sluggish. Poor villagers had no money to buy amulets and sacred objects of Luang Por Derm. Some villagers therefore came to Luang Por to ask for good things to keep with them. Luang Por Derm could only tell them to go and buy them from the temple committee because they were raising money for the temple to build permanent objects in the temple. They did not let them give them away; if they wanted them, they had to go and get them from them.
The villagers could only complain that it was already difficult to make a living from day to day. Luang Por Derm was very merciful. He said that if they had faith in him, even just taking an old robe to worship would bring good results. So the villagers brought white cloth to ask for Luang Por’s footprints by applying indigo to the soles of his feet for him to step on. From 2-3 people, the news spread until hundreds of people brought white cloth to the temple. Luang Por was merciful, even though he had to move his feet up and down all day. He never complained. He only told his disciples who were worried about him that…
"In a way, it's the father's own karma. It's like an elephant falling out of its casing. It's hard to lift its leg up and down, but I'm helping them. Now that they're here, I'm helping them to be encouraged."
Many people have received cloth with the footprints of Luang Por Dam and have seen its sacredness in many ways.
