This range of mills is made of beech wood. (Beech is very hard and tough. It is also strong, with a close straight grain.)
 
These mills are delivered empty.
 
The Paul Menges®️ pepper mechanism is made of hardened carbon steel which starts out with a sharper blade. Double rows of teeth provide a more precise outcome of grinding. Six pre-defined grind settings allow you to pick the right texture you want. Perfect for peppercorns.
