The Santoku knife originates from Japan, renowned for its versatility and ability to handle a wide range of food preparation tasks. Its distinctive features include a wide, flat blade that facilitates cutting, slicing, and chopping of food. It also features a series of indentations along the blade that reduce friction between the knife and the food, making cutting easier and allowing slices to slide effortlessly. The tip of the blade is rounded, providing greater control during cutting and reducing the risk of damaging ingredients.
The 1896 line was created as a tribute to the historic Due Cigni brand, a Maniago-based company that has been producing high-quality knives for over a century. This line represents the culmination of an artisanal tradition that merges with a modern and functional design, characterized by clean and balanced lines. Each knife in the 1896 line thus becomes a true design accessory, ideal to showcase during the preparation of ingredients or the enjoyment of meals, thanks to its refined aesthetics and excellent handling.
In addition to the design line, Due Cigni also offers a professional line, designed for those seeking superior performance and durability. This line features black polypropylene handles, a robust and non-slip material that ensures a secure and comfortable grip even during intensive use. The knives in the professional line are designed to meet the needs of the most demanding chefs, combining cutting precision and long-lasting durability. With these two lines, Due Cigni reaffirms its commitment to providing top-quality tools, capable of satisfying both professional chefs and cooking enthusiasts.
