CORTELLO: Chef knife and Chinese knife together by Ambrogio Sanelli

The union of the oriental shape of the Chinese knife and the usefulness of a chef's carving knife is Cortello. Ideal for precision cuts, for cutting vegetables, for mincing, for tartare. The knife blade is made of special Nitro B nitrogen steel. The sharpening of Cortello is done manually with stone with a special machine with Japanese stones from Naniwa. THE HANDLE is in solid walnut and makassar ebony, handmade by Stefano Raffa, a craftsman known for his manual skills and quality of the creations. All parts of the knife, including leather blade cover, are 100% made in Italy. Created together with Michele Cannistraro, aka Il Cannibale, passionate private chef and winner of MasterChef All Stars.
