Sarah Wiener Privatier Knife cooksandpoets 1

With a hand forged blade and plum wood handle, the Privatier Knife by Sarah Wiener is the middle point between the larger chef’s knife and the smaller vegetable knife. The 90-step manual manufacturing process guarantees high quality and durability of the knife. Made using a nine-step smithy technique, the Solingen steel blade is not only smooth, tough, and extra sharp, but it’s also conveniently rust-resistant. Perfect for chopping ingredients from your favorite recipe.

Pott flatware, knives and accessories are all dishwasher safe however we always recommend hand washing when possible. For Pott knives, hand washing is ideal as to not dull the blade or be exposed to acidic food remnants. Regular maintenance, such as wiping your stainless steel products with a non-abrasive metal cleaner or using silver polish for all sterling products, will ensure that you can enjoy their appeal and elegance for decades. Pott can refurbish your flatware and sharpen your knives, as well as replace damaged blades. The traditional crafting process of Pott products is your warranty for a perfect and enduring quality product.

Some people who are passionate about food become chefs. Some become culinary designers. Others, politicians. Sarah Wiener is one of the few to do all three of those things.

Born in 1962 and raised in Vienna, Wiener worked her way up restaurants’ back-of-house before opening her own in Berlin in 1999. Ten years later, countless spots across the city bore her imprint, including the restaurants for the German Museum of Technology, the Academy of the Arts, the Museum for Communication, and Futurim—not to mention Stuttgart’s Mercedes-Benz Museum. Her celebrity status skyrocketed when, in 2007, she launched cooking shows on the European tv network Arte and Austria public broadcaster ORF.

That same year, she initiated a non-profit foundation dedicated to encouraging healthy eating, a principal she brought with her upon winning election in 2019 to the European Parliament, where she serves as a member of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development. In 2013, she was awarded a membership in the Chevalier of the Order national du Mérite. Recognizing the tools one uses is as important as the ingredients, Wiener has partnered with Germany’s iconic Pott for a collection of handmade knives, manufactured by Mono.
