Gabriele Sammatrice/Sicilian Forge Custom Knives is a skilled craftsman who offers blades with character, strength and cutting edges of the highest level. He often uses A8 Modified tool steel: a very strong alloy steel. The most common use of this alloy is in striking blades. It has extreme toughness with good edge retention. The 8.5% chromium makes it almost stainless.

A8-mod is a modified version of AISI A8. It is a tool steel with a medium carbon content and alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. This steel is an improvement on A8 steel, with good hardenability, toughness and dimensional stability to heat treatment.

These Kai Shun Multipurpose Scissors are multi-purpose scissors for the kitchen. You'll be amazed at the many uses of these versatile scissors. From opening packages, to cutting flower stems or cutting herbs. You can easily take the scissors apart to clean them. As such, you know for sure that no dirt will get caught in between the blades.

Besides the scissors, there are other handy features. For example, these scissors include a nut cracker, bottle opener and a 'bone notch' that allows you to cut poultry bones or joints. At the end of the scissors are two flathead screwdrivers that also act as a lid opener to pry off lids.

The scissors are made from 420J2 stainless steel and the handles are made from glass-filled nylon. This is extra strong nylon that is resistant to drops and bumps. Another handy feature easily overlooked is the ribbed texture on the inside of the handle parts. Use this to easily open bottles with a stubborn screw cap by placing both ribbed insides around the cap. So you can use the scissors as a lever, the ridges provide a good grip on the cap.

The core of Kaname blades is made of an extremely durable VGXeos steel with a hardness of 60-62 (±1) HRC, rolled in two layers of stainless steel. The special manufacturing method ensures an incredibly thin cutting edge that reduces friction during use. This results in excellent and durable sharpness, promoting filigree, smooth and precise cuts.

Notes: rare handcrafted knife made in March 1990 by well-known German knifemaker Peter Herbs, a member of the German Knifemakers' Guild and a member of the very prestigious American Knifemakers' Guild.

Kai Europe offers another exclusive collaboration with master-chef Tim Mälzer: Small Kiritsuke 13 The Lucky Edition.

A special edition with an opaque brown handle and a 15 cm hammered blade. The edition is limited to only 5555 pieces and each one is numbered. As such, each knife is a unique collector's item.

As with the previous limited edition, the Kiritsuke was chosen, but in a smaller size. This is a type of Japanese knife that combines the design and characteristics of a usuba and a yanagiba. The usuba is used for cutting vegetables and the yanagiba for raw fish, for example when making sashimi. As such, the kiritsuke can be used for many different tasks in the kitchen: cutting vegetables, meat and fish. The tanto inverted profile makes the tip very flexible and perfect for precision tasks. The flat blade is perfect for other cutting tasks.

The superbly sharp blade is made of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61 (± 1) HRC and surrounded by 32-layer Damascus steel. The Damascus steel makes each knife unique. The matt handle of this special edition is, like the regular knives in the Tim Mälzer Premier collection, made of walnut wood: it is moisture-resistant thanks to the resin treatment. The chestnut shape of the handle is comfortable in the hand and provides a firm grip when using the knife. 

Blade: Damascus stainless steel VG MAX hardness of 61±1 HRC
Handle: Matt walnut wood
Blade length: 155 mm.
Handle length: 120 mm.

Host - Set of 2 freeze glasses MARGARITA - REFRIGERATORS

PRODUCTS FOR COCKTAILS HOST

The love for innovative design applied to the world of wine is Host's guiding star. The result is a line of products that are as beautiful as they are functional. The shapes and lines of the objects are designed to combine the pleasure of beauty with the comfort of the useful; the packaging is fresh and cared for in every detail; the spirit is attentive and sensitive to the enhancement of the qualities of wine. We know that serving wine at the wrong temperature is one of the most common mistakes made with fine wines. Or, again, it is often thought that red wine should be enjoyed at room temperature: one of the trends of summer 2013, however, was Chianti served chilled.

Have you ever wanted a warm beer in winter or a chilled red wine in summer? No, everything needs to be at the right temperature.

Host Freeze is just that: keep it in the freezer and when you feel like having a drink, it will be ready.

Just pour and enjoy the well-deserved refreshment! The Freeze margarita glass is ideal for enjoying your favourite cocktail: kept in the freezer for at least two hours, it keeps it at a temperature of between 6°C and 11°C; if you keep it in the fridge it will keep it between 14°C and 16°C. For those who haven't got their act together yet, a Seattle-based company has come to the rescue: the Host Freeze Cooling team has created these ingenious wine glasses that automatically cool even the hottest liquid. The glass is surrounded by a gel which cools down if the glasses are placed back in the fridge. This ensures that the cocktail is at the right temperature for perfect enjoyment, especially in the warmer seasons.

An original idea that can prove to be very valuable in case of last minute dinners, or for the eternally careless who forget to refrigerate bottles of fine wine in time.

For the trend-setting Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, Kai has developed six additional knives made from corrosion-resistant 32-layer damask steel. It is embellished with a hand-hammered surface which in Japan is known as Tsuchime, thus combining timeless aesthetic qualities with ultimate sharpness. The blades have a massive core of VG MAX steel with a hardness of 61±1 HRC. 

In analogy to the limited Anniversary Knife, great importance was attached also in this series to the knives providing optimum grip as well as extraordinary hardness. The Shun Premier Tim Mälzer series, from bread knife to santoku, provides professional cutting tools which will set new standards in the premium segment by providing exceptional performance in a timeless design. 

True to Tim Mälzer‘s premise, „A good knife not only makes work easier but also helps to make cooking to turn out well“, each of the carefully manufactured damask knives was meticulously adapted to its respective area of use by the Japanese master forgers from Seki City. Due to the particularly symmetrical shape of their walnut handle, all shapes moreover ensure a precise cutting performance for both right-handed as well as left-handed use.
