Brass cake knife with fine filigree handle, made in Lahore

Filigree Cake Knife

$43.00

The knife you bring out for the cake — the birthday, the wedding, the first slice everyone photographs. Its handle is brass, cut into fine filigree like lacework, fitted to a serrated blade that cuts cleanly through cake and dessert. Made by hand in Lahore, it's the small ceremonial object...

The Craft

Hand-Hammering

Raised from a flat sheet under thousands of hammer blows, the dimpled surface a record of the making.

Cutwork

Openwork lace pierced clean through the metal by hand with a fine needle.

Engraving / Qalamzani

Cut into the metal line by line with a fine steel chisel, the qalam.

Naqsheen

Floral and geometric patterns chased into the surface freehand by the naqash.

Sand Casting

Molten brass poured into a sand mould packed by hand, then broken open to free the piece.

A Note from Amara
It is the knife you bring out for the cake — the birthday, the wedding, the first slice everyone photographs. The handle is brass worked into filigree like lacework, made by hand in Lahore and fitted to a blade that actually cuts. Light enough to use, lovely enough to leave on the table.
