IT ALL BEGAN IN 1919
Three knives like the three Lorenzi brothers, Olimpio, Giovanni and Battista, who together in 1919 opened the first cutlery shop in Corso Magenta at number 4, led by our grandfather Olimpio Lorenzi who was the firstborn (letterhead from the time hereunder).
The three knives are: a chef's knife, a Santoku knife and a knife for cooked meat and cold cuts.
These three models are all essential in the kitchen: the chef model because it is the classic model for every preparation typical of Western cuisine; the santoku model is its eastern counterpart and therefore more oriented to the preparation of fish and vegetables; finally the salami and roast model whose name directly describes its main use.
All three models are made of stainless steel through a forging process with a clearly visible knot and guard. The handle is instead made of natural wenge wood. The rivets that fix the handle scales were deliberately made of brass, as was tradition.
We have equipped each knife with its own leather case that becomes useful to protect the blade when the knife is kept in a drawer while eliminating the possibility of hurting yourself when picking it up or putting it away. It can also be pleasant when brought to the table for a service or on a cutting board.
KNIFE MAINTENANCE
IN DAILY USE - Do not wash the knife in the dishwasher, the high temperatures and aggressive detergents ruin the edge, damage the wooden handle and can stain the blade. Instead, use cold or warm water with a soft sponge and very little liquid detergent.
SHARPENING SERVICE - The F.Ili Lorenzi store offers, free of charge and included in the price of the knife, a sharpening service that can be carried out within 15 years of purchase, which includes up to 10 sharpenings. To benefit from the sharpening service, simply show up at the F.lli Lorenzi store in Corso di Porta Romana 1, with the anniversary knife.
