Mini Buckels "Old German" Butter Knife

$34.00
Windmühlenmesser Manufactur

Once you welcome this little butter knife into your kitchen, you’ll never want another breakfast without it.

Simple yet endlessly versatile, the Mini Buckels Butter Knife cuts through crusty bread or firm sausage just as easily as it spreads butter and jam. With its modest, broad stainless steel blade, this ultra-sharp knife cleanly splits rolls without damaging the crumb, and slices cheese and fresh fruit with ease.

Available in four elegant wood types, each handle is expertly ground, free-formed, and finely polished by hand—adding natural beauty to any brunch table.

Cherrywood -  Sourced from the northern slopes of Austrian and German forests, its dense structure provides lasting durability.

Copper Beechwood -  Naturally varied in color and grain, sometimes featuring striking dark red heartwood veins. Steam-treated and finished with natural oils for durability, its open-pored surface becomes slightly textured with water for a secure, slip-resistant grip.

Olivewood -  A timeless Mediterranean wood admired for its rich history, golden tones, and distinctive, naturally varied grain.

Plumwood -  From the Rosacae family, its nuanced tones range from light brown-rose to dark brown-violet, bringing beauty and one-of-a-kind detail.

For a complete brunch set, meet this butter knife's older sibling—the Buckels Breakfast Knife.
