Kitchen Knives of Every Kind

Wood, simplicity, effectiveness: Opinel has tapped into its roots and expertise to create the Parallèle kitchen knife range. The beechwood handle, robust and soft in the palm of the hand, with simple and softened lines, ensures a comfortable grip and an inimitable touch. The blade profiles have been designed to optimize movement and ensure a perfect cut suitable for any type of food.

Materials:

Blade: Made from full-tang stainless steel, with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. The steel used provides high resistance to corrosion and excellent mechanical performance. The smooth blade has an excellent edge, easily re-sharpenable, maintaining its effectiveness even after use with hard materials like ceramics.

Handle: Beech is the most commonly used wood for Opinel handles. Sourced from French plantations, it is hard, durable, and easy to work with. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color ranges from yellow to pinkish. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous dark streaks. The handle is varnished to be effectively protected from dirt and moisture.

Technical Specifications:

Recommended use: For trimming and cutting vegetables, preparing raw meat, and roughly cleaning fish. The 17mm blade remains rigid and stable during cutting.

Blade length: 170mm.
Blade thickness: 2.5mm.
Maintenance: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the quality of the wood and blade. Stainless steel offers low maintenance, but it is preferable to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acids, saltwater, detergents).

Renkei (連携) is a Japanese term that means collaboration, coordination, or connection. It is used to express the idea of working together, in close cooperation, to achieve a common goal or to create synergies between different people or organizations.

This project, born from the collaboration between Coltelleria Collini in Busto Arsizio and Coltelleria Due Cigni in Maniago, is an excellent example of synergy between two Italian companies specializing in the world of cutlery.

The Japanese VG10 steel used in this project, laminated to 67 layers and produced by Takefu Steel, is renowned for its extraordinary properties of strength, durability, and the ability to maintain a prolonged sharpness over time. These characteristics make the steel ideal for the production of high-quality knives.

The 67-layer lamination technique gives the steel superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional steels. Additionally, the use of this Japanese steel gives the knives a distinctive and elegant design, with a particular wave pattern on the surface of the blade that forms during the manufacturing process.

The collaboration between Coltelleria Collini and Coltelleria Due Cigni highlights how the combination of skills and traditions of two Italian entities can lead to the creation of high-quality products, capable of competing with the best kitchen knives on the international market.

Thanks to the use of precious materials and attention to detail, these knives combine the excellence of Made in Italy with the high quality of the Japanese tradition in the cutlery sector.

The Les Forgés 1890 knives embody the excellence of the French cutlery tradition. As the name suggests, they are fully forged, standing out for their durability, impeccable balance, resistance, and superior cutting quality.

The boning knife from the Les Forgés 1890 collection features a pointed and rigid blade, accompanied by a special sheath for removing nerves and bones. This feature allows for exceptional handling.

The X50CrMoV15 steel is a type of stainless steel known for its high corrosion resistance and ensuring a high-quality cut. The blade hardness is 56-57 HRC.

The full-tang blade extends through the entire handle, ensuring the knife's robustness and balance, thanks to the even distribution of the steel's weight.

The handle, made of beechwood, comes from sustainably managed forests and is not painted. It has been treated to be water-resistant. Its ergonomic design pays tribute to traditional pocket knives, ensuring a comfortable grip.

- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher collide with other objects; the blades could be damaged.
- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the water tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).
- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

The WUSTHOF knives sold by us are personally checked and further sharpened, in order to guarantee you the certainty of an excellent purchase.

All Wusthof products we sell are indelibly silk-screened with the Coltelleria Collini logo (as shown in the image).

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Maestro.

FORM AND FUNCTION
The Premana Professional line was created by analyzing and solving, in every detail, the problems faced by the most attentive professional who uses these working tools on a daily basis. By making the green knives of the Premana Professional line, Coltellerie Sanelli S.r.l. has significantly improved the concept of safety, reliability, and hygiene in a decisive way, paying attention not only to the hardness, flexibility and shearing power of the blades, but also to the ergonomic shape of the handle.

THE BLADES.
The convex shape of the blade provides effective support when considerable effort is required on the part of the user and is also characterized by: high hardness (54-56 HRC), good flexibility, high shearing power, long edge life, edge shape especially designed for professional use, and excellent ease of resharpening.

HANDLES.
Exclusive ergonomic design of the handle resulting from special studies carried out at qualified University Institutes (research unit called EPM: Ergonomics of Posture and Movement at the Polytechnic University of Milan) and validated by computerized experimental tests.

ANTIBACTERIAL PROTECTION
Sanelli and Biomaster have developed permanent antibacterial protection for the handles of Premana line knives through the use of silver ions.
Biomaster is a silver ion-based, inorganic additive suitable for imparting antibacterial characteristics to plastics that safely inhibits microbial growth from the first few minutes, reaching almost total inhibition within 24 hours. Once incorporated into a product, Biomaster becomes an integral part of it providing safe, effective and inexhaustible antimicrobial protection.
Laboratory tests have shown that Biomaster, incorporated into the handles of Sanelli Premana Professional Line knives, is effective in the permanent microbiological eradication of Escherichia Coli and Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) to the extent of 99.7 percent, obtaining ISO22196:20111 certification.

Maintenance

Proper care increases the life of the knife, making it easier and safer to work with; it also reduces wire wear.

Hand washing is preferable (using dishwashing detergent and a soft sponge); in the case of dishwashing, where permitted, there are a couple of tips to follow:
- be sure to arrange the knives so that they do not hit other objects and damage the wire;
- in any case, before being washed in the machine, it is best to rinse the knives under running water to remove remnants of what you cut, especially substances that can be highly corrosive (e.g., fats, vinegar, fruit juices).

The knives we sell, are checked and, if necessary, further sharpened, in order to ensure their perfect, even professional, use.

Use: Ideal for easily cleaning fish, raw meat, vegetables and for any cut where maximum precision is required.
