 | The Toki symbolises strength and triumph over adversity. It was used by Maori to defend themselves when faced by a threatening challenge. The Toki was often carried by a Maori chief or conquering warrior who was considered to have great strength...
|
The Maori fashioned pounamu into tools such as chisels for carving and the adze (toki).These tools were used for the building and decorating of canoes (waka) and houses (whare).
Toki (adzes) ranged from very plain tools through to magnificent works of art. They were skilfully shaped from all kinds of the stone, but the most prized was the hard pounamu that could keep a sharp cutting edge comparable with metal. Each toki pounamu started as a slab of pounamu that was sliced, shaped and sharpened under the pressure of the human hand, water and sandstone.
These ceremonial adzes were made of the best of pounamu. They were crafted and polished to highlight the stones colour, translucency and exquisiteness. The toki poutangata commands respect for its size, its appearance and the authority of the person holding it.
The term toki poutangata derives from the fine notches thought to represent past generations that are often grooved into the edges of these adzes.

"The service your company has provided has been excellent... total satisfaction... even a hand written card!!"
"The parcel you sent me arrived safely early this week and was much appreciated - my 2 year old
son George ate the cookies and my nephew begged for the pendant. The service your company
has provided has been excellent... even a hand written card!!
I have downloaded the wallpaper
images you sent on CD ROM. I have told friends and family about your web site and love the
beautiful wooden items you sell.
I will be glad to visit the [3rd party customer rating] web site you suggest and express nothing but total satisfaction - this
is rare because we Brits don't know the meaning of the words "Customer Relations." For a
"nation of shopkeepers" our retailers have a hell of a lot to learn!!
Thanks again and I am sure to return one day as a satisfied customer. I particularly like the clocks
and mirrors!
Best wishes... and keep up the excellent work."

"Amazed and astounded by the great customer service..."
"I have never received better service from an on-line company before!!! I do not think I have ever received as wonderful customer service as I have received from you from other places. I just received my order (great timing by the way) and I am still amazed and astounded by the great customer service, the free gifts, and the nice hand-written letter, not to mention the quality of the product itself.
I am definitely going to return to Products from New Zealand Ltd., and I am spreading the word to everyone I know. Thank you again for the great service!!!"
