Knife Berti

At Coltellerie Berti in Scarperia (FI) each knife is produced by the hands of one craftsman, the same person. Whoever starts it, finishes it.

This is the essence of the Berti Family's Artisan Method, which since 1895 has maintained the joy of owning a true artisan knife in the wake of the most authentic Tradition, and the work in a truly human condition.

And it is to state this strongly that each Berti knife bears engraved on the blade the initials of the craftsman who produced it.

The table knife is often the most overlooked in the choice, but its importance should not be underestimated; it must be strictly smooth edged so as not to defibrate the meat and squeeze out its flavour, as happens with serrated blades. To savour dishes in their full flavour, a smooth and precise cut. You will not have to throw it away once it has lost its edge, as is the case with serrated blades, which cannot be sharpened. The blades are laser-cut from sheets of special cutting steel, which allows a very high blade quality (fine and neat grain size without forging). Made with a full tang, i.e. the blade is a single piece running through the entire handle, they have a satin-finished blade surface finish. Made entirely by hand in small quantities. Heat treatment includes cooling to -80 °C to ensure maximum cutting capacity and durability.

Two knives and a fork for the proper cutting and serving of Lardo di Colonnata.
After at least six months spent in a marble basin, together with "Secret" aromas, Colonnata lard, cleansed of the rind, sea salt and the aromas that envelop it, releases an immense fragrance that is enhanced by consuming it cut into very thin slices: a thousand-year-old tradition to which we dedicate this box set.
The smaller knife for a twofold function: to separate the lard from the rind by a few centimeters, that is, for the amount of lard you intend to consume, and, on the back side, to clean the lard from the sea salt and aromas that envelop it.
The larger knife for cutting very thin slices of lard in such a way as to release its "immense" fragrance that is enhanced precisely with this type of cut. The small fork to lay the resulting slice on a piece of bread, perhaps warm toasted, or lay it on a plate.
