Alessi "La Cintura Di Orione" Bread Knife by Richard Sapper and Alberto Gozzi

Description

Unfortunately cutting homemade bread without a quality bread knife can be a daunting task. With its serrated edge and long steel blade, this bread knife from Alessi's "La Cintura Di Orione" Cutlery Set is perfect for slicing crusty homemade bread right out of the oven. Designed by Richard Sapper with Alberto Gozzi's advice, this cutlery set was a continuation of research which in 1996 led to the creation of a set of pots and pans with the same name and designed for private gourmets. Gozzi had always aspired to create a set of knives not only suitable for great chefs and domestic gourmets, but also for the home cook. Sapper and Gozzi believed that it was essential to consider the hands as an integral part of every utensil, which is why it has to be made so that it can be firmly gripped. By dedicating proportionately greater space to the handles with respect to the blades, the handles are more ergonomic in size and shape and offer a stronger grip so they can be controlled easily and firmly.
