No. 1 The Spread knife by Nůž made in Waiuku, New Zealand

No. 1 The Spread is a table knife for your dining experience. Its rounded tip makes it ideal for buttering bread while the sharp edge easily slices through meats, potatoes and vegetables.

This knife is made in Waiuku using high carbon steel recycled sawblades and a handle crafted from FSC-certified American ash wood.

Three brass rivets hold together the blade and the handle.

Each No. 1 The Spread knife is presented in a card sleeve with excellent care and sharpening instructions.

Nůž was founded in 2019, but its roots go much deeper. Founder Madison Baker has knife-making in her DNA – back in 1983, her father started knife brand Svord. Watching her dad hand-making knives and turning his business into one of New Zealand’s best-loved hunting and fishing knife brands gave her a true appreciation for the craft.

Total length 21cm, blade length 10cm.

Hand-crafted using traditional techniques by Nůž in Waiuku, Aotearoa.

Care Instructions: 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. In Christchurch we recommend KASS Sharpening Services on St Asaph Street.
