Entry Description

Balsa has an elegant, clean form, combined with sophisticated balance and ergonomics.
This is only achieved utilizing the highest manufacturing skills.

The top surface of the knives has a totally flat, clean form. The edges of the handles
are finished with delicate radii to ensure good ergonomics but still allowing for the flat
handle sections to reflect simplistic modernism back to the user.
The knives have an unexpected choil on the underside of the handles which allows for a
dramatic reduction in gauge thickness. This enables us to achieve the refined weight and
balance.
The pattern has deliberately elongated and slender looking fork heads and spoon bowls to
enable the diner to pick up smaller food portion sizes, this allows the diner to really
think about the tastes & textures chef has created.
