Wood, simplicity, effectiveness: Opinel has tapped into its roots and expertise to create the Parallèle kitchen knife range. The beechwood handle, robust and soft in the palm of the hand, with simple and softened lines, ensures a comfortable grip and an inimitable touch. The blade profiles have been designed to optimize movement and ensure a perfect cut suitable for any type of food.

 

Materials:

Blade: Made from full-tang stainless steel, with a hardness of 55-57 HRC. The steel used provides high resistance to corrosion and excellent mechanical performance. The smooth blade has an excellent edge, easily re-sharpenable, maintaining its effectiveness even after use with hard materials like ceramics.

Handle: Beech is the most commonly used wood for Opinel handles. Sourced from French plantations, it is hard, durable, and easy to work with. With a homogeneous appearance, its light color ranges from yellow to pinkish. It is recognizable by the presence of numerous dark streaks. The handle is varnished to be effectively protected from dirt and moisture.

 

Technical Specifications:

Recommended use: For trimming and cutting vegetables, preparing raw meat, and roughly cleaning fish. The 17mm blade remains rigid and stable during cutting.

Blade length: 170mm.
Blade thickness: 2.5mm.
Maintenance: Hand washing is recommended to preserve the quality of the wood and blade. Stainless steel offers low maintenance, but it is preferable to avoid prolonged contact with aggressive environments (acids, saltwater, detergents).

 

The Shun Classic DM-0772 Kiritsuke is a true work of art in the kitchen. The blade is made of VG MAX steel, known for its hardness of 61 (±1) HRC, which guarantees exceptional and long-lasting sharpness. The VG MAX steel core is covered with 32 layers of Damascus steel, giving the blade an unmistakable appearance and a perfect combination of stability, resistance and elasticity.

The blades of the Shun Classic series are sharpened on both sides, offering precision and ease of use. The tapered handle is made of resistant pakka wood, maintaining the traditional Japanese chestnut shape. This material, enriched with fine resins, guarantees exceptional resistance to use and humidity.

The typical chestnut shape of the handle ensures a secure and ergonomic grip, thanks to the slight contouring on the right side. In addition, the continuous tang provides optimal stability and balance during use.

Renkei (連携) is a Japanese term that means collaboration, coordination, or connection. It is used to express the idea of working together, in close cooperation, to achieve a common goal or to create synergies between different people or organizations.

This project, born from the collaboration between Coltelleria Collini in Busto Arsizio and Coltelleria Due Cigni in Maniago, is an excellent example of synergy between two Italian companies specializing in the world of cutlery.

The Japanese VG10 steel used in this project, laminated to 67 layers and produced by Takefu Steel, is renowned for its extraordinary properties of strength, durability, and the ability to maintain a prolonged sharpness over time. These characteristics make the steel ideal for the production of high-quality knives.

The 67-layer lamination technique gives the steel superior strength and flexibility compared to traditional steels. Additionally, the use of this Japanese steel gives the knives a distinctive and elegant design, with a particular wave pattern on the surface of the blade that forms during the manufacturing process.

The collaboration between Coltelleria Collini and Coltelleria Due Cigni highlights how the combination of skills and traditions of two Italian entities can lead to the creation of high-quality products, capable of competing with the best kitchen knives on the international market.

Thanks to the use of precious materials and attention to detail, these knives combine the excellence of Made in Italy with the high quality of the Japanese tradition in the cutlery sector.

The Fratelli Rizzi company was founded at the end of the 19th century in Premana, a small Italian mountain town located between Valtellina and Valsassina. Flexible and competitive company which, combining the typical characteristics of craftsmanship with the continuous search for new technologies, is synonymous with quality in the production of professional cutlery for cutting.

In 2012, after about 50 years of experience in the cutlery sector, the Fratelli Rizzi company decided to offer its own lines of professional cutlery under the name of MaglioNero, combining it with numerous collaborations with the best Italian and European operators in the field of professional cutlery.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance prolongs the life of the knife, makes work easier and safer and reduces the consumption of the wire. Some advices:
- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher collide with other objects; the blades could be damaged.
- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the water tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).
- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

The WUSTHOF knives sold by us are personally checked and further sharpened, in order to guarantee you the certainty of an excellent purchase.

All Wusthof products we sell are indelibly silk-screened with the Coltelleria Collini logo (as shown in the image). This marking guarantees the buyer to have the certainty of quality, traceability, guarantee over the years and a future privileged assistance on the product purchased from Coltelleria Collini.

Black, sharp and unsurpassed, a series with a unique design that meets pure dynamism.
The WÜSTHOF Performer Knife series proves its worth with every use: exceptional quality for very high performance. The ultra-hard blade, coated in diamond-like carbon (DLC) guarantees low friction and perfect sliding of the blade during cutting. The non-slip honeycomb structure of the Hexagon Power Grip guarantees extreme control. This knife will win you over for a lifetime!

The cut of the Performer knives flows through the food with almost no friction. Thanks to the particularly low friction, the non-stick properties of the diamond-like coating and the lotus effect of the black surface, the particles simply roll off the blade. Freshly cut pieces of food, such as slices of an onion, slip away: an ideal situation when speed and precision are required in moments of intense activity in the kitchen.

Thanks to the hydrophobic effect, all liquids flow away, including citrus acids, as well as fats or starches from potatoes.
The DLC was originally employed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife.
USE: vegetables, meat, fish
FEATURES:

- Diamond-like carbon coating increases surface hardness to 104 Rockwells
- Thanks to this coating, the knife glides effortlessly through the food
- Newly developed Hexagon Power Grip with anti-slip honeycomb structure
- Forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF stainless steel
- Forged in Solingen, Germany
DIMENSIONS:

- Blade length 17 cm
- Total length 30.5 cm
- Weight: 172 gr.

Diamond-like carbon coated blade for extreme performance.

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade, being extremely hard and durable, is the highest quality in the knife market. The almost magical black coating increases the surface hardness of WÜSTHOF steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell.

For connoisseurs, this means a significant benefit in terms of performance: its extreme robustness makes it practically immune to adverse external effects and the diamond surface is also extremely heat resistant.

The DLC was originally developed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife with holder.

The Masahiro knives come directly from the city of Seki, Japan.

The quality of these Masahiro knives is very high and they are characterized by an asymmetric processing of the blades: the left side of the blade is flat, the other side of the knife is beveled up to the edge and then polished. This modern Japanese blade design translates into a superior cutting capacity.

The MV series is made of molybdenum vanadium stainless steel MBS-26 (similar to a Sandvik 19C27 or a 440C and predecessor of the VG-10). The handles are riveted to a full tang with thin layers of black-stained wood pressed into a transparent (but not polished) polyamide.
