The perfect balance of elegance and functionality in the kitchen
The Officine Gullo professional knife set is a testament to the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Masterfully crafted, each knife combines elegance and functionality to offer an unparalleled culinary experience.
Superior Forged Steel Blades
The blades are made from high-quality forged steel. During the forging process, the steel is compacted, achieving excellent hardness and resistance characteristics. This process gives the blade, bolster, and tang their final shape, which is then inserted into the handle. After sharpening and grinding, the blades undergo tempering and annealing treatments, ensuring the right hardness level for optimal cutting performance.
A Knife for Every Culinary Need
The set includes six knives, each designed for a specific function:
- Chef’s Knife
The chef’s knife, also known as a ‘trinciante’, is indispensable in the kitchen. Its versatility is surprising: with this tool, you can mince, chop, slice, and dice most foods. The slight curve of the blade allows for a rocking motion for chopping foods. It does not flex, ensuring uniform slices from start to finish.
Total Length: 33 cm.
Blade Length: 21.5 cm.
- Bread Knife
This knife is ideal for cutting slices of bread perfectly without crushing or tearing them. Its serrated blade is effective on the crust but gentle on the crumb.
Total Length: 35.5 cm.
Blade Length: 23 cm.
- Ham Knife
With its narrow, long, rounded blade, this knife is specifically designed to cut ham, enhancing its flavor and texture. Its height of a few centimeters and its extremely long blade allow you to make the most of the entire width of the edge, resulting in precise cuts made in one movement.
Total Length: 38 cm.
Blade Length: 26.5 cm. - Carving Knife
Its smooth, long, and fine blade is perfect for achieving uniform and thin slices of roast, ensuring an elegant presentation.
Total Length: 35 cm.
Blade Length: 23.5 cm. - Boning Knife
Also known as a ‘scalping knife’, this tool is used for working with raw meat. Its blade is characterized by particular rigidity and is usually not extremely sharp, yet highly effective. This knife features a thin but robust blade, allowing it to pierce the meat to separate it from the bones. Although it can be held like a regular knife, it is specifically designed to be used with a dagger grip.
Total Length: 30.5 cm.
Blade Length: 19.5 cm. - Paring Knife
This small knife is designed for peeling and is perfect for cutting fruit and vegetables on the chopping board, as well as for peeling quickly and precisely. The blade is suitable for cutting soft foods such as meat, garlic, cheese, mushrooms, and fruit. However, it is unsuitable for cutting hard vegetables, such as carrots.
Total Length: 22 cm.
Blade Length: 10.5 cm.
Whether a professional chef or a cooking enthusiast, the Officine Gullo professional knife set is the perfect companion for your culinary art. Each knife combines functionality, aesthetics, and superior quality, transforming every culinary preparation into an experience of excellence.
