Azmaya Brass & Steel Butter Knife
Crafted from brass and stainless steel using traditional Japanese techniques, this elegant butter knife is designed, in collaboration with Azmaya, by metalsmith and artist Osamu Saruyama. Over time the brushed brass handle will develop a dark, rustic patina. The design, balance, and craftsmanship represent the attention to detail and quality of this and all Azmaya products.
