Forged Prosciutto Knife 25cm
Forged Prosciutto Knife 25cm
The perfect knife for slicing thin slices of Prosciutto. This blade is long, wide and flexible. The narrow blade allows the user to make intricate slices from a leg of Prosciutto, allowing the user to slice around bones, and easily change direction with the grain of the meat. The long length of the blade allows the user to get cleaner slices.
Forged knives are made from a single bar of stainless steel, they are heated and then hammered into shape. Pounding and hammering the steel rearranges the molecules, compressing them to make a harder and stronger blade, while also holding a sharper edge than a stamped knife. The forging and sharpening are all done by hand, the result is a blade that offers the perfect cut.
Forged knives are from the Coltelleria Paolucci 'Master Chef' line, and are designed to suit the needs of the best chefs and home cooks.
The black POM riveted handle finsihes off this elegant range of knives. At the same time, the handles are ergonomically designed so that the knife is comfortable and safe to grip over prolonged use. The Coltelleria Paolucci forged knives have a full tang, which provides a great balance to their knives.
Made in Italy.
Blade Length: 25cm
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.
