Butter Knife

This handcrafted butter knife is available in Oak or Walnut and comes packaged with some of Pat's very own beeswax blend to care for the hardwood. A beautiful piece to hold it should last for years if cared for properly. Suitable for use with butter or soft cheese it would make a great gift along with some locally made Irish crackers and cheese.

Each knife measures 20cm from tip to handle and 4cm wide.

Do not immerse in water or put in the dishwasher, simply wash with hot soapy water and treat with beeswax from time to time.

Pat Murphy is a self taught wood worker based in Kildorrey, Co. Cork.

Originally a butcher, Pat dabbled in wood working as a pastime. When his butcher shop was forced to close in 2007, he started selling his work at local fairs and markets. Seeing the success of his work, he launched CK53 design in 2017, to expand the reach of his work.

Why CK53? When the butcher shop closed, Pat converted one of the outbuildings into his workshop, which was licensed to Cork County Council. The license number was Cork 53, or CK53, and so the name stuck!

Pat uses sustainable hardwood frm FSC certified forests. Growing up in the countryside, Pat has huge respect for nature and the maintaining of the natural landscape.
