Tau Lon, Pairing knife

TAU LON impresses with its simplicity and functionality. The authentic design gives it a rustic, almost antique look. It is a precise knife, a trustworthy companion for the small and detailed jobs in the kitchen. Ultra light and narrow, it allows for fine cuts. A tapered blade makes it easy to clean stone fruits, strawberries, mushrooms and other garden delicacies.

On our own behalf: The knives are made entirely by hand by small family businesses in Vietnam. A comparison with the quality of CNC lasered and sharpened mass-produced goods is unnecessary.  Each handle is carved by hand and the blades are cut out with large tin snips without punching. The knives may have small blemishes. However, these do not reduce their suitability for everyday use and operational strength, but rather enhance their individuality and specialness. Please take this into account when making your purchase decision!
