This butter knife is made from a single material: porcelain. A rarely-used material for this typology but one that is widely used in tableware and also present in some kitchen knives. It is fired at a high temperature and is naturally non-porous which makes for smooth serving and easy cleaning. With a deliberately soft shape, it takes some formal cues from traditional butter knives, therefore signalling to its intended purpose.

Now at 20% off (price already discounted) - What better way to celebrate our 11th birthday and wear off this Bday blues than make some new knives? We got ourselves some “Ocean” recycled material from Smile plastics which is a bit translucent so we added some Ivory micarta coloured backdrop to it and integrated them into both our hidden/frame handle design and our full tang scaled design. These were paired with patinated French X75 carbon steel blades and the result is wonderfully joyful yet balanced. in total, only 35 of these knives were made.
About this knife: The F4 Chefs knife is the all-around utility knife for all jobs intended to be done on the cutting board. This means it’s the most used knife in the kitchen, good for almost anything. It is a western edged knife with 205mm long blade, 50/50 grind, 3mm thick steel at the base of the spine tapering down to the tip. This one is made of X75 (1075) high Carbon steel with a satin finish and forced patina. The handles are either hidden tang assembly which has the tang of the blade inside a composite frame or a full tang assembly which shows the tang all around the handle contour. Both made of recycled plastic scales, white composite liners and a blue composite core for the framed handle. Both fastened with Brass rivets.

Banzai Turba
Banzai Turba
Talking about a butter knife, we instantly thought about different types of spatulas, scrapers, and palettes used to apply putty, fillers, or dense paints. We found it interesting not to design a two-part object with a handle and a blade, like a knife, but a monomaterial object with a simple form. We also added different contours to create various textures with the butter and created two playful four piece sets.

This project starts discovering the Scotch Hand tool. This was used as butter churned, pressing the butter against the side of the butter tub so that any excess buttermilk liquid forming in the fat pockets of the butter, would be forced out to stiffen the consistency of the butter. The wood tool has several carved lines all over the surface. These useful ones are used on the knife to generate a special way to spread butter. The butter knife is made in brass, a high corrosion resistance material. Also comes with a Iroko wood pad to put the butter. Both pieces are carved by a cnc machine and polished by hand.
Ernest Perera Studio is a design studio that moves between industrial products and artisan objects. Always looking for timelessness, consistency, simplicity and usability in each project.

From the very first days of tool making, bone has been a significant material, Widely used both for practical and symbolic attributes. Hand carved out of cow bone, our milky white knife circles back to the same source as the butter itself. The Bone to butter knife is a homage to the ancient tradition of nose to tail cooking, and to the respectful notion of utilizing and consuming an animal in its entirety.

Maunsell Studio
Maunsell Studio
When Tomer invited us to participate in the design of a butter knife, we set ourselves the goal to try and achieve, like all Florentine Kitchen Knives products, a knife of quality, functional, visually attractive and efficient in its production. The result was a knife made of one piece of AISI 316 stainless steel, cut, bent and matt polished. It is neither a decorative object nor a work of art. It's a tool, functions as a knife and it’s form is self-explanatory.
Skye Maunsell founded Skye Maunsell Studio in 2015 in Barcelona, specializing in interior and product design projects nationally and internationally. Her work currently focuses on residential and commercial interior design and is characterized by her special attention to context, functionality and the elegance of the simple.

Shay Nifusi
Shay Nifusi
A butter knife made of Micarta, a material typically used for knife handles. It incorporates both the handle and the blade into a single, cohesive piece. The material's laminated nature provides a warm feel akin to wood, while having a thin yet durable structure. Upon closer look, the ripples in the Micarta reveal an undertone resembling Damascus steel.
Shay Nifusi is an industrial designer and engineer, from Tel Aviv. His works range from small scale production lines to mass produced devices. Shay's design process is a hands-on exploration of relation between material and shape, and their ultimate balance.

The tool, humanity's first technology, asserted control onto chaos. Our ancestors' primitive hand-axes ordered the world. We still seek to tame the wild into the cultivated. This butter spreader is bone china porcelain. A minimalist slender rectangle gently twisted to blade and handle. Its sprayed texture echoes fossils. Kilned into continuum. From beast bone to cultured ceramic. From the raw to the cooked. From the hunt to the hearth. From bone to bone china.
Shira Keret and Itay Laniado are product designers, graduates of the Industrial Design Department at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem. They share a studio, a family and thoughts. They are engaged in creating objects, curating design exhibitions, research and development. Both teach at Bezalel Academy. They exhibit their work in exhibitions, galleries and museums in Israel and around the world and won international and local awards for their work.
