1Pcs Stainless Steel with Wooden Handle Puer Puerh Tea Knife Needle Ice Pick Tea Cake Pick Tool for Breaking Prying Brick for Kitchen Bars Bartender

Good for my Puerh tea cakes. Looks and feels authentic. Durable and works well.

the pattern is so cool and sturdy, good quality

Excellent tea knife. Very sturdy and good size. This item is made to separate tea cakes and brake them apart. The knife part is not made for cutting. Once agin it's a tea knife so to the reviews that are negative casue they can't stab or cut stuff well this knife isn't made for that. Clearly people don't do research on products before buying. I think those reviews should be taken down since they didn't use the tea knife as it's intended purpose.

I’m a fan, but the blunted tip that came with it does more damage than good to high quality teas, so I ground a keen tip and polished it up to 3000 on my stones, now it’s brilliant! There is, however, a mild but noticeable chemical odor to it, presumably due to the adhesives they used to put it together.. a few minutes under vacuum should vaporize the volatiles so they don’t impart any flavor to the tea, but I’d imagine that most people aren’t as crazy about tea as I am… haha.. four stars, could be better, but for ten bucks it’s about as good as to be expected.. for the record, I only put a sharp TIP on it, not an edge; otherwise it would cut the leaves from the cake instead of prying them free without damaging them which is the whole point of a tea knife.. it’s a good buy, but I’d definitely recommend spending ten minutes with a whetstone and cleaning up the tip, and at least letting it breathe for a few days so that the glue vapors can disperse entirely before you use it on any expensive teas.. That and a VERY light touch of olive oil to prevent any corrosion is what I do to keep my tools in tip top shape. ~if you take good care of your tools, your tools will take good care of you..

Looks beautiful and received it quickly, although I am not too happy with the fact that it's made from resin and not wood, as per description.

...only slightly less sure why I kept it!It's kinda neat: Imagine a completely useless wooden cylinder. Now imagine you could unscrew it to reveal an only *mostly* useless knife... what you're only imagining right now, baby I'm *living* it!The "knife" feels pointy enough, but it must be said that its edges aren't really even approaching sharp -- this is not hyperbole -- and I'm not entirely sure their shape is one that can be sharpened (?).✔ - pointy stabby✔ - novelty / conversation starter? - satisfactorily opens mail

What a great tool for busting apart your tea cakes.the Damascus steel is a pleasure to hold view and use, the barrel design keeps the pick knife safe for nosey hands & fingers

This knife/pick is very ornate, bigger than I imagines and the blade actually appears to be Damascus steel. This was an unnecessary purchase; more a treat, but I am glad I spoiled myself. It was very inexpensive for the quality. The solid wood outside has an etched dragon, with clouds and plants/trees and the screw on cap is the Japanese lettering that I have seen before on various items. I don't speak, write or understand Japanese, but they probably reflect Love, Tranquility, etc.... Very nice looking and well worth the money. I am happy with the purchase and would recommend.Hope This Helps
