Copper Bamboo Root Tea Knife

Really heavy, great build

For centuries, tea has been pressed into cakes for easy transport. Tea knives were developed to break apart the cakes for consumption. You hold the cake with one hand and pry at the edge with the tea knife in the other hand. There is an inherent risk to this process. Tea knives are often unnecessarily sharp and difficult to control. The Copper Bamboo Root Tea Knife is a thoughtfully designed tea knife. It has a point that can be used to pry apart a tea cake but it is not unnecessarily sharp. It is a cast piece that even though it is a small knife, it has enough weight to be easily held and controlled. I think this is easily the best designed tea knife I have found to date.
