The etching is both visually exciting and provides a surface that resists sticking to the food being chopped. The handle is made from jet black African blackwood. This elegant wood is extremely hard and will hold up well in the kitchen. The handle t is finished off with mosaic pins and polished brass bolsters. Exceptional work throughout.
