A classic butter knife made from enju wood (Japanese pagoda tree).
\nEnju is a strong, split-resistant wood prized for its durability. Its attractive grain and lustre develop further with use.<\/p>\n

Size: L18.5 \u00d7 W2.5 cm<\/p>\n
Materials and care
\nThe wood is sourced from nearby mountains in Japan. Each piece is finished as bare wood, without paint or a coating.
\nMoisten wooden utensils with water before use. For boards, wipe the surface with a well-wrung damp cloth.
\nWash promptly after use. Dishwashing detergent may be used; rinse thoroughly afterwards. If possible, gently wipe away excess moisture with a cloth.
\nDry in a well-ventilated place out of direct sunlight, avoiding strong draughts.
\nDo not leave the wood wet, expose it to sudden temperature changes or allow it to become excessively dry.<\/p>\n
