Wooden fish knife for crafts – poplar plywood, 5–50 cm

A crafting afternoon at the kitchen table, a new motif for the kitchen wall or a lovingly decorated tag on a home-baked gift – sometimes all you need is the right blank. This wooden fish knife in 3 mm poplar plywood is made for your next craft idea. It is untreated and smoothly laser-cut. You can choose any width from 5 to 50 cm. You do the designing, and the wood plays along.

What changes for you

• You can start painting, decorating or oiling straight away. The wood is natural and untreated, and it takes paint well.
• Your kitchen decor gets a fitting motif – the silhouette of a kitchen knife picks up the theme of cooking directly.
• You will find the right size for every project, from a small gift tag to a large wall decoration – thanks to widths from 5 to 50 cm in 1 cm steps.
• You work with clean, smooth edges and no sanding – because every cutout is laser-cut. This gives it the typical fine brown edge.
• When crafting with children or in a larger group, you won't run out – the cutouts come singly or in sets of 10, 25, 50 or 100.

Why this wooden fish knife makes a difference in everyday life

A ready-cut motif takes the tedious part off your hands: no drawing, no sawing, no deburring. You focus on the fun part – designing, decorating, giving. And in the end, your kitchen shelf or your gift from your own kitchen carries a piece that is clearly handmade.

Material & finish

The cutout is made of 3 mm poplar plywood. It is laser-cut in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. The edges are clean and smooth. The typical brown laser edge gives the motif a finely drawn outline. The wood is untreated, neither varnished nor glazed. So you can stick things on it, paint it, coat it or oil it as you like. As a purely natural material, it shows different shades, small knots and a lively grain. This is not a flaw – it is exactly what makes every piece unique.

• As wall decoration in the kitchen: arrange several sizes side by side above the kitchen shelf – and the wall shows at a glance what happens in this room.

Good to know about the fish knife

The fish knife has been part of classic table culture since the 19th century. Its broad, blunt blade does not cut the fish. Instead, it gently lifts the flesh off the bones. This distinctive, instantly recognisable shape makes the silhouette ideal for decorations around the kitchen, dining room and catering – from wall pictures to buffet signs.

Care & durability

There isn't much you need to do. Keep the untreated wood dry and away from constant moisture, and it will keep its natural look for a long time. If you paint or oil it, you give the surface extra protection – depending on your project.
