Mninga Butter Knife

Hand carved from beautiful and sustainably sourced Mninga wood, these wooden knives would make a beautiful accompaniment to your table.

They’re handmade in Mtwara, Southern Tanzania, by the Makonde Wood Carvers: a group of artisans renowned for their craftsmanship who are training local, talented people with woodworking skills. The creation of each of these knives supports job creation and keeps the tradition of wood carving in Mtwara alive.

The Makonde tribe is renowned for their craftsmanship, the carving is all done freehand and then each knife is sanded to enhance the natural grain of the wood.
