    COLTELLERIE BERTI How to choose Knives Upstream and downstream of good cooking there is always a good knife. Every day we use many objects without knowing their intimate nature and without knowing which phenomena and undisputable physical laws determine their operation and usefulness for us .However, understanding such matters is impossible, considering the vast amount of knowledge it would require. These few pages, which make no claim to covering everything, will give you the opportunity of getting to know something more about knife making so you can use your knives better and get more satisfaction out of them. Handmade. Made in Italy. Choosing a knife for home. How to choose Is it normal to use saw blades to cut food other than bread, focaccia and products out of the oven? Is it really parsimonious to spend less for a knife that cuts badly and that you later have to throw away? Is it really an idea of the past to have high quality blades sharpened ever now and then, so you can still count on an excellent cutting tool through time? Is it a luxury to cut meat at the table with a hand made, smooth-bladed knife having a handle made of horn? We think not. This is why we feel it our duty to illustrate the essential cutting requirements with good knives, to all those who want to choose a knife set from our Collections. You can choose among preparation, serving and table knives with: Stainless steel blades with a high degree of carbon to ensure a long lasting cut.

  • Safety Notes
    Safety Notes Risk & Safety Services Safety Note #179 Utility Knife Safety According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the most common types of knives involved in accidents that cause injury are utility, box, and pocket knives. Between 1990 and 2008, 47% of all knife injuries (1,169,960 injuries), were related to utility knives. Utility knifes are very sharp due to the blade being a razor. One wrong move and these retractable blades can cause serious injury. Retractable utility knifes are very common in the workplace and employees should be aware of the hazards when using them. Safe work practices should be followed when using a utility knife. For safe use of a retractable utility knife, please review and use the following procedures: Only cut materials appropriate for utility knifes, such as thin cardboard, paper, thin plastics, or shrink wrap. Inspect the utility knife for damage and dull blade prior to use. Replace the blade if necessary or remove the knife from use if it is in need of repair. Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes in case the blade breaks. No horseplay when using a utility knife. It’s not a throwing knife. Do not apply too much pressure on the blade. It can snap off the handle. Do not try to cut more than the knife can handle. Do not use utility knifes to pry objects loose. Use the proper tool for the task. Ensure the blade is properly positioned in the handle before use. Always use a sharp blade. Dull blades are NOT safe! Keep hands, fingers, arms, and legs out of the cutting path.
