Mezzaluna Knife - European Olivewood

Description

The half-moon knife with twin olive wood handles and a double stainless steel blade — the fastest way we know to mince garlic, parsley, or any small herb. Rocks back and forth over the cutting board until everything is uniformly chopped.

Dimensions: Approx. 13 cm wide; double stainless steel blade

Why it's here: Olive wood is one of our favourite materials in the kitchen and dining room. The tight grain makes it tough and naturally resilient to bacteria, not to mention beautiful — every piece is unique and handmade, with patterning that runs differently through each cut. We source ours from European olive trees whose branches are pruned each year as part of the agricultural cycle of harvesting olives, which makes it one of the most sustainable hardwoods you can put in a kitchen.

What you're getting: One mezzaluna knife with twin olive wood handles and double stainless steel blade. Made in Italy.

Care: Do not put in the dishwasher. Hand wash only. If the wood starts to look dry, rub a little olive oil into the grain with a paper or cotton towel — the lustre will come right back.
