A tea knife — also called a tea pick or pu-erh knife — is the tool used to pry apart compressed tea cakes without crushing the leaves. The Dasheng model is hand-forged from pattern (Damascus-style) steel with copper fittings, so the blade holds a fine, consistent edge for clean prying and splitting. At 71 mm blade length with a 14 mm width, it has enough surface to work under a dense pu-erh cake while staying nimble enough for everyday table-side service.
Pattern steel and copper construction — a blade that holds its edge and ages with character
183 mm total length, 71 mm blade — balanced for controlled tea-cake work
Comes in a leather case and high-grade wooden box — table-ready presentation for upscale tea service
A practical tool with the look of a collector's piece, suited to tea ceremonies, hotel tea lounges, and specialty bars that serve premium Pu'er and black tea.
If you brew compressed tea at home — Pu'er bricks, black tea cakes, or aged discs — a proper tea knife makes the difference between a clean break and crumbled leaves. The Dasheng is hand-forged from pattern steel with copper fittings, so it's sharp enough to work under a dense cake and sturdy enough not to flex under pressure. It arrives in a leather case and a wooden gift box, which makes it a considered gift for anyone serious about their tea ritual.

Frequently asked questions
What is a tea knife used for?
A tea knife pries apart compressed tea cakes — Pu'er bricks, black tea discs, and similar pressed formats — without crushing the leaves.
What is the blade made of?
Pattern (Damascus-style) steel with copper fittings, forged by hand for edge retention and a distinctive layered appearance.
What packaging does it come with?
A leather case and a high-grade wooden box, making it ready for gift-giving or upscale table presentation.
Is shipping included in the price?
For in-stock items — anything you can add to the cart — shipping is included in the listed price. For made-to-order items, delivery is either free (marked on the product page) or calculated when you place your order, based on destination and volume.
How long does delivery take?
In-stock items typically arrive within one to three weeks. Made-to-order items take three to six weeks, since we work directly with manufacturers and need time for production and logistics before shipping. Your assigned manager confirms a more precise estimate once your order is placed. Please note we can't be responsible for delays caused by customs clearance in the destination country.
Are import duties and taxes included?
In most cases, yes — we aim to ship Delivered Duty Paid (DDP), which means duties and import taxes are handled so you don't face extra charges on delivery. In rare cases we may ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU), where you would settle import charges directly with the carrier — but only when agreed with you in advance.
Do your products come with a warranty?
Yes. Most of our equipment comes with a one-to-two-year manufacturer's warranty covering factory defects and technical faults under normal use; the specific term is stated on each product page. If a defect appears, we arrange a replacement or refund in line with our Exchange & Return Policy, and our team guides you through the claim step by step.
