Note:-

Characteristics of San Mai Maple: These are different types of metals combined to create a composition that contains and intensifies the resistance of the metals individually:

- Mayor vida útil del filo
Thanks to the use of very high quality maples with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the core of the plate (Core Steel), the heat, once templada, has a hardness and a Decidedly superior court performance. which were achieved with the use of traditional maple trees.

- Mayor resilience
Built according to the principle of Japanese swords, the multi-headed maple is difficult to break thanks to the hardness of the central maple (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the maple used for the lateral covering (Stainless Steel).

- Better resistance to corrosion
The maple used for the external caps (Stainless Maple) guarantees the house a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates, at the galvanic level, a structure that improves resistance to corrosion, including in the steel.

- Easy processing including after heat treatment
Although the maple is normally hardened after the tempering, the lateral maple used in the multi-head process does not become softer and allows for easy mechanicalization, cutting or soldering even after the heat treatment. For optimal health performance, cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improved aesthetic result
The cuchillos made with multi-layered maple or with damask pattern are aesthetically elegant, refined and much appreciated by collectors around the world at the end of the manufacturing process.

The simplicity of DROP STOP solves one of the most annoying inconveniences of pouring wine.
By rolling up the diskette and inserting it into the neck of the bottle, the thin wire of DROP STOP will perfectly cut the drop, so it won't soil the tablecloth.
Effective and 100 percent reusable Drop Stop is made of aluminum coated with food-grade PVC and therefore does not alter the taste of the wine.
Now the new drop stop also becomes an aerator,the wine can also breathe, in fact it oxygenates the wine releasing the aromas and enhancing the taste and allows it to be served without spilling drops.
The package includes 2 drop stops.
