The story of the model

The myrtle leaf for the ritual of tea.

Tea cakes are a traditional form of pressed tea, born in the cultures of the East to make it easier to carry, and loved today the world over.
This knife was born from a specific request: the ideal tool to open these cakes while keeping the tea leaves intact.

Inspired by the Culter — a 9 cm blade, double-ground, with a point made to score with precision, while the spine, left without an edge, lets you lever the portions apart.

Every Tea Knife is a unique piece, never identically repeated. It is commissioned for particular occasions: gifts for masters of ceremony, luxury tea rooms, five-star hotels with a tea service.

About this piece

How is a Giagu Tea Knife commissioned?
Every Tea Knife begins with a conversation. You write to the Giagu workshop describing the materials, the dimensions and the occasion, and the maison guides you through the configurations available. Lead time is six to twelve months from confirmation. Every finished piece comes with a paper certificate signed by the family.
Is the Tea Knife a numbered piece?
Every Giagu Tea Knife is engraved with the mouflon mark and the words GIAGU PATTADA. Each order carries its own number, identifying it in the maison's internal archive from 1985 onward. The mark, for its part, stays with the piece forever.
What is the warranty on the Tea Knife?
Every Giagu Tea Knife is guaranteed for ten years from the date of delivery. Sharpening is free for the lifetime of the knife, at the Pattada workshop or by post.
