Hinoki Knife Stand
$33.00
Description:
These knife stands are crafted from Shimanto Hinoki, a cypress native to the Shimanto River basin and known for its natural resistance to bacteria and mold. This makes it an ideal material for the kitchen, where cleanliness and durability matter most. The wood’s smooth, forgiving surface helps protect knife blades from wear, allowing them to retain their sharp edge longer. Available in two versions: one for a single knife and another for two knives.
Measurements:
Single: 12 11/16 in. L x 1 3/16 in. W x 1 15/16 in. H
Double: 12 11/16 in. L x 2 7/8 in. W x 1 15/16 in. H
History:
The woodworkers of Tosaryu have been perfecting their craft in the mountains of Kochi, Japan since the 1970's. By drying wood naturally (without the use of chemical drying agents) for a full 3-6 months, the fragrant, oil-rich, sturdy composition of Hinoki is preserved and brought to life in a range of products from bath mats to stools and buckets. Acting as stewards of the local forests and lakes, the woodworkers at Tosaryu use sustainable methods of production to create functional, safe, and earth-friendly pieces.
