About the Purple Turquoise Waiter's Knife

A masterful marriage of fine steel with natural materials! Perfectly functional, the stainless steel Waiter's Knife is accented with purple turquoise (described below) and iridescent mother of pearl stonework. The handsome minerals are painstakingly shaped, ground, polished and assembled by artisans in Santa Fe, New Mexico and applied to the factory-new knife. The backside features solid wood.

Constructed of solid stainless steel, the Waiter's Knife includes a 2" corkscrew, 1.5" foil knife, and bottle opener. With all tools closed, the overall length is 4.5" long. Posh, yet practical, the gemstone waiter's knife is a stylishly sensible gift for any wine lover.

What is purple turquoise?
Purple turquoise is created from natural Kingman turquoise stone from Arizona in which most of the aqua color is missing when mined. A purple color enhancement is added during the required stabilization of the stone. In addition, a bronze fusion process adds attractive veins of shiny bronze. This enhancing process provides interest to turquoise stone without natural aesthetic qualities and is still considered genuine stabilized turquoise by industry standards. Due to the natural abstract variations in the stone, the vein pattern and color tone will vary slightly.
