| This Japanese Butter Knife Means You'll Never Fear Cold Butter Again
 The Ginkgo Butter Knife is a small piece of stainless steel, made in Japan. The metal is bent at a little more than a 90-degree angle—you hold on to one arm, while the other skims off the butter and spreads it on a piece of toast. The Ginkgo knife makes it possible to cut into even the coldest butter and spread it in a thin, instantly-melting layer because it has a series of small perforations along its sharp, scalloped edge—a bit like an overgrown version of an old-fashioned citrus zester. You slide the scalloped edge along the top of a stick of butter, inviting up these glorious thin little coils of dairy product. They're like tiny, spreadable butter-pasta strands.
Maybe you're thinking that this sounds like a single-use object that you don't really need. That's probably true, technically. And yet, I'd argue that for the occasional butter consumer, it's even more necessary, since you're more likely to store your butter—too cold!—in the fridge. In the end, it's a core tenet of my belief system that we should all be entitled to the best butter experience possible. And that begins with this butter knife.
