DESCRIPTION

Reach for this when you're putting together a cheese board and want to spread cultured butter onto a crispbread without tearing it. A butter knife doesn't need an edge. It needs a shape that spreads and lifts without gouging. This one does all three cleanly.

Built for the Board

The 5-inch blade is wide enough to carry a generous spread of soft cheese or whipped butter in one pass, and rounded enough at the tip to work the edge of a cracker without cracking it. It also handles pate and soft rillettes, anything with the texture of cold butter that a regular knife would drag through instead of spread. The Damascus cladding keeps it matching the rest of your Ji Series set on a table setting.

Ebony Handle, Full-Tang Build

Ebony is a dense, oily hardwood that stays dry and clean-looking after wiping down. The full-tang construction means the blade and handle feel like one piece in your hand, not a blade pushed into a socket. It's a small knife, but it doesn't feel cheap.
