6.5" Individually Paper Wrapped Compostable Wooden Knife

Q: What foods are these wooden knives suitable for cutting?

These 6.5" (16.5cm) wooden knives are suitable for cutting soft to medium-firm foods such as sandwiches, wraps, pastries, cakes, cheese, and cooked meats. They are ideal for takeout meals, catering events, picnics, and food service operations that want to provide a complete, eco-friendly dining experience. We recommend ordering a sample to verify suitability for your specific use case before placing a bulk order.

Q: What type of wood is used and is it food-safe?

These knives are made from sustainable birch wood, which is smooth, splinter-free, and food-safe. Birch is a popular choice for disposable wooden cutlery due to its strength, light weight, and clean natural appearance. The wood is free from harmful coatings, dyes, or chemicals, making it safe for direct contact with food.

Q: What does "individually paper wrapped" mean and why does it matter?

Each knife is individually wrapped in a paper sleeve before packaging. This ensures the knife remains hygienic and protected from contamination during storage, transport, and service. Individually wrapped utensils are especially important for takeout, delivery, and self-serve stations where customers expect sealed, untouched cutlery.

Q: Are these knives biodegradable and compostable?

Yes. These knives are made from natural birch wood and are 100% biodegradable and compostable, making them a fully plastic-free alternative to conventional disposable plastic knives. They are an ideal choice for restaurants, cafes, food trucks, catering companies, and event organizers looking to reduce their environmental impact and meet sustainability or zero-waste packaging goals.

Q: How many knives come in a case and what package sizes are available?

Each full case contains 1,000 knives. A pack of 100 knives is also available for smaller volume needs. A single-unit sample option is available for quality testing before committing to a bulk order. This product is currently stocked at our British Columbia warehouse, with fast shipping available across Canada.
