Chestnut Knife

Chestnut Knife

Chestnut knife. For the home cook or for use in a professional kitchen. The very short, very sharp hooked blade feels like a natural extension of your forefinger. Designed specifically to both score the hard shell of a chestnut before roasting and then to crack it open for eating.

The blades are made of the best alloy of molybdenum-vanadium stainless steel and are ice temped for further hardness.  The blades are then sharpened by hand for a perfect cut and a practically unlimited duration. This stainless steel alloy and finishing technique are deisgned to have the perfect balance of being easy to resharpen at home, while holding a fine and sharp edge.

An anti-slip Polypropylene handle is comfortable and safe to grip over prolonged use, thanks to pleasing to hold and anatomically profiled shape. 

Made in Italy

About the company, Coltellerie Paolucci:

The Company ‘Coltellerie Paolucci’ was founded in 1972, but their routes go back much further, with the Paolucci family opening up their metal working shops in 1791 in Frosolone, Italy. The town of Frosolone “with the roots made of steel” has been forging metal for knives and swords for over 1000 years.

Today Coltellerie Paolucci has established itself internationally. Coltellerie Paolucci is still based in Frosolone, Italy to this day. The experiences handed down from father to son allows the production of knives of the highest quality craftsmanship, with attention to the smallest details at every stage

Today’s blades must be the result of a perfect alloy, where the Paolucci family’s 250 years of knowledge come together to produce a blade with the strength of steel, the heat treatment and the rust resistance of chromium, together with nickel and vanadium, blend to ensure strength and hardness. The handles are made of high quality materials and have an anatomical shape. This has characterised the constant success of Paolucci products.
