Olive Wood Butter Knife WBK

An individual olive wood butter knife with inlaid bone batik handle.

These items are handmade in the village of Makindu on the slopes of the Chullu Mountains in Eastern Kenya; the wood craftsmen and women here have formed a cooperative to ensure they share and receive a fair wage.

The butter knife can be handwashed or wiped clean with normal washing-up detergent and water.  It is advisable to occasionally rub some olive oil into the wood to keep it in prime condition.
