Pounamu French Cook's Knife — Svord Carbon Blade, 16.5cm

Hand-carved from rich green Kahurangi pounamu, paired with a Svord 15N20 carbon steel blade. Each handle is shaped from a single piece of stone and polished to a deep, glassy finish. A collaboration between two masters, each with over 40 years' experience: Bryan Baker, who makes his Svord blades in Waiuku, south of Auckland, hardened and tempered in-house, and our carver Lee-Roy Mullings (Ngāti Kahungunu), who has shaped pounamu in his Arrowtown workshop for four decades. One of a kind — the knife pictured is the one you'll receive. Arrives in a wooden presentation box.
