Which cheeses to cut with this knife: this type of knife is generally used for cheeses with very high and rounded sides, such as table parmesan, aged pecorino romano, sardo flower, Sicilian canestrato, mature castelmagno, gavoi and all cheeses with similar characteristics.
How to use this knife: it is a knife that can perfectly replace the series of knives with almond blade, hooked almond, nailed heart, used to engrave and split compact, hard, grainy or chalky pasta. The tip must be stuck on the crust and then with a uniform and strong pressure following the drawing of the blade's edge, the dough is cut and it comes off gently. The blades are obtained by laser cutting from sheets of special cutting steel that allows a very high quality of the blade (fine and tidy grain size without forging). Made with a full tang, i.e. the blade is a single piece that crosses the entire handle, they have the surface finish of the satin blade. Produced entirely by hand in small quantities and without division of labor, those who initiate them finish them: on each blade you will find the initials of the craftsman who made them. The heat treatment also includes sub-cooling at -80 ° C to ensure maximum cutting capacity and duration.

The versions with Plexiglas handles are dishwasher safe because all our Plexiglas handles undergo a special stabilization process which makes them dishwasher safe. Produced with high quality cutting steel, they can be put in the dishwasher only in the Plexiglas handle version, but it is good to be informed about the possible consequences:
1. the dishwasher causes any object washed in it to age quickly.
2. the more quality cutting steels are, the less stainless they are.
3. the blades may be stained with small reddish spots or large bluish halos:
to. if left to drain or dry in the dishwasher
b. if left dirty for a long time after use
c. if the washing water is rich in iron
4. good hand washing and careful drying after washing are the secret to keeping your knives at their best.
5. Hand washing and immediate drying are MANDATORY for knives with handles in horn, wood or other natural materials.
6. Do not wash with aggressive detergents or water at temperatures above 60 ° C.
