The Talus

In the high-altitude terrain of the Wasatch, a Talus is a field of sharp, broken rock fragments at the base of a cliff, formed by the relentless cycle of frost and friction. We’ve captured that rugged, textural energy in our most precise kitchen tool.

The Talus is a high-performance zester designed for the modern kitchen. Each handle is hand-turned in our Salt Lake City studio from domestically harvested walnut, providing a substantial, weighted grip that offers total control during use. The dark, architectural grain of the walnut serves as a warm anchor for the precision-etched stainless steel blade.

Whether you’re grating aged hard cheeses or zesting bright citrus, The Talus mimics the geological process of abrasion, turning solids into a fine, flavorful dusting. It is a tool built for those who appreciate the intersection of raw mountain aesthetics and surgical kitchen utility.
