Alexander - Walnut chopping board with roast support and forged knife Alexander

Cutlers in Maniago of 1873 The Alexander Roast Apollo Knife is an excellent Professional Roast Knife, chosen by amateur and professional chefs. The blade of a good roast knife must be long, flexible and sharp enough to run smoothly over the meat. But above all the blade must be smooth and not serrated: in this way it is possible to cut the meat easily, without tearing it and without "squeezing it"  thus enhancing the taste.

Five steps to make a quality product. To make Alexander handcrafted products from steel rods, five careful and long and costly processing phases are required: 

forged from stainless steel incandescent bars 

hot coining 

shearing of the profile and the interior 

roughing and bending

tempera.

The normal finishing operations (mirroring, working of the handle) are added to the aforementioned phases. The knife blades are sharp as they are sharpened by hand.
