Our handles are solid bronze, chosen in recognition of its beauty and durability. The handles are cast in two alloys (Nickel Bronze a warm silver colour and Bronze a traditional copper colour) using the age old process of sand casting in which molten bronze (at a temperature above 1200c) is hand poured into a cavity formed in the sand by a skilled moulder. The raw casting is then hand worked (shaped and linished) before the final finish is applied. This process imparts a unique character to each handle.
