IRATY Table Knife
Basque Authenticity
The IRATY knife is a Basque table knife that merges the essence of a shepherd's knife with the elegance of a table knife. Its sage leaf-shaped blade is directly inspired by the traditional knives used by Pyrenean shepherds. Its refined design makes it perfectly suited for everyday and gastronomic use.
Pastoral Inspiration and Versatility
On one hand, the IRATY knife embodies the fundamental qualities of the Basque pastoral knife, designed to be robust, reliable, and functional. On the other hand, it adopts the characteristics of a table knife through its balance and careful aesthetics. This harmonious fusion gives rise to a versatile model, as pleasant to handle as it is effective in use.
Blade and Cutting Quality
The IRATY Basque table knife is handcrafted and features a high-quality stainless steel blade. This steel is known for its longevity, resistance to oxidation, and excellent sharpness. It ensures a clean and precise cut, ideal for working with all types of food, from meats to vegetables, including cheeses.
Handle Made of Scarified Medlar Wood
The scarified medlar reveals the nobility of this dense and vibrant wood. The scarification, done by hand, creates a subtle relief that enhances the natural grain and gives each piece a unique character. Over time and with use, the wood develops a harmonious patina, reinforcing its authenticity and connection to Basque artisanal tradition.
Balance and Comfort of Use
This model embodies the rich Basque heritage while meeting contemporary expectations. Its precise balance and lightness provide a smooth and enjoyable user experience, worthy of the best handcrafted table knives.
Identifying Detail and Basque Symbol
A traditional detail further enhances its authenticity: a Basque cross, or lauburu, cut from the metal of the handle. This emblematic symbol adds a strong aesthetic touch and reflects a deep attachment to local craftsmanship and Basque culture.
Everyday Use and Table Art
The IRATY knife is perfectly suited for everyday use. It allows for easy slicing of meats, vegetables, and various culinary preparations. Its timeless design makes it a must-have for enthusiasts of handcrafted knives and table art.
Maintenance and Durability
To preserve the natural beauty of the olive wood handle and the quality of the finishes, it is recommended to wash the knife by hand and avoid the dishwasher.
Dimensions and Conclusion
With an 11 cm blade and an 11 cm handle, the IRATY Basque table knife offers a perfect balance between robustness and finesse. In summary, its precise sharpness, ergonomics, and strong Basque identity make it an essential tool for all enthusiasts of artisanal cutlery and Basque authenticity.
