  • How to Choose Knives Upstream and Downstream of Good Cooking There Is Always a Good Knife
    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.

Comfortably durable CORDURA® NYCO fabrics are suitable for a wide range of garment types such as trousers, jackets, coveralls and bib & braces, and are particularly valuable for harsh working conditions especially in areas where high stress is imparted on the garment.

The name, personifies Spyderco’s line of folding knives with clips. The verb refers to the physical action of being able to clip the knife to your clothing. We’re human and creatures of convenience. Minute by minute we create, adjust and are predisposed to gravitate to the tool that performs best and is easily applied to the task in front of us. Illustrating that instinctive quest for the best, explains the success of the CLIPIT knife. Almost all Spyderco knives are CLIPITs. The idea surfaced in the 1980s when Sal Glesser (Spyderco’s founder) imagined, then designed, a folding pocketknife with three revolutionary features: A clothing clip, a way to open the knife with one-hand (The Spyderco Round Hole) and serrations on a folding knife blade. These concepts lifted pocketknife function to a higher level. Clips shifted the knife’s weight from the bottom of a pocket to the top, attaching the knife inside so it sat/rode flat regardless of size and wasn’t as likely to be dropped or lost. The Spyderco Round Hole enabled the folder’s blade to open with one hand, leaving your other hand free.
