Traditional Korean Bangjja Yugi Spoon Set for Two
This premium Bangjja Yugi spoon set is meticulously handcrafted by Lee Hyung-Geun, a master artisan officially recognized as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage Holder for Yugi craftsmanship. Utilizing a traditional alloy of 78% copper and 22% tin, this spoon set is a prime example of Bangjja Yugi, known for its durability and unique aesthetic.
Unlike mass-produced utensils, Bangjja Yugi is formed by repeatedly heating and hammering the alloy, a process called forging (Danjo), which ensures robustness and enhances the natural luster of the material. Each piece is shaped and refined with precision, embodying the rich legacy of Korean metalcraft.

- To restore the original shine, use green scrub pads and regular kitchen detergent.
