About The Product:

Enhance your collection of traditional crafts with the Dokra Knife Leaf Design, a beautifully crafted piece that combines utility with art. Made from brass, this knife is designed using the Dokra technique, which is renowned for its primitive simplicity, charming folk motifs, and rustic beauty.

The leaf design of the knife reflects the intricate craftsmanship of artisans who use the ancient lost wax casting (cire perdue) process, one of the earliest methods of non-ferrous metal casting known to human civilization. This technique allows for the creation of finely detailed and unique designs.

Handcrafted by skilled artisans from Bardhaman and Bankura districts, this Geographical Indication (GI) product of Bengal is not just a functional piece but also a work of art. It is perfect for collectors, as a decorative piece, or as an addition to your kitchenware.

The Dokra Knife Leaf Design measures 8 inches in length and weighs 75g, making it a lightweight yet durable item for everyday use or display.
