Rooted in Fijian tradition and handcrafted using natural, farmed shell, the Hand-Carved Cheese Knife is both a functional utensil and a collectible piece of island artistry. Carefully carved by the Frey family, second-generation shell artists in the Fiji Islands, each knife reflects the beauty of sustainable pearl art and the importance of preserving local reef environments.

Unlike mass-produced imports, this knife supports local craftsmanship and sustainable income opportunities through Rise Beyond the Reef (RBTR)—an organization uplifting rural Pacific communities through eco-conscious, women-led artisan work.

Rise Beyond the Reef believes that indigenous knowledge and cultures hold the key to the future. You can help protect it. Through purchase, you help invest in the future.

Creating a path of economies of hope and equity for rural remote indigenous women in Fiji: Rise Beyond the Reef’s Traditional Contemporary Arts & Crafts Income-Generating Program has four goals for rural remote indigenous women in Fiji. First, women are given opportunities to develop leadership skills. Second, geographically isolated women crafters earn much-needed income at village-gate. Third, Rise Beyond the Reef helps develop regional and international markets for these goods, and last (but not least), the program helps preserve and promote traditional arts and crafts skills with remote indigenous women in Fiji, Kioa Island and Rotuma.
