NUDE – A Knife Designed for the Beauty of Precision

NUDE is crafted to celebrate the beauty of cutting. Cut from a single sheet of stainless steel, the blade and handle form one seamless piece—without joints, rivets, or unnecessary detail. The result is a knife with flowing lines and a sculptural presence, both elegant and highly functional. Each knife is hand-finished, with special attention given to the heel of the handle, where delicate chamfering creates a soft, comfortable grip. Thoughtful touches like these make NUDE a joy to use, whether you’re preparing a simple meal or creating something more elaborate.This is not just a tool, but an object of everyday grace.
