Hand-crafted using traditional techniques by Nůž in Waiuku, Aotearoa. Find the full collection of Nůž knives in our Nůž collection.

Care: Hand wash in warm soapy water and dry straight away. Never put it in the dishwasher. Oil the blade occasionally with a little olive or vegetable oil to protect against rust. Carbon steel develops a natural patina with use. Have it professionally sharpened about once a year, or whenever it starts to feel dull.
