An unusual trapezoidal-shaped cheese knife from Berti Knives

Ideal for large and hard cheeses such as Swiss, provolone, and soft pecorino.

The times we live in are associated with increased consumption. As a result, the objects we use daily are deprived of any value other than utilitarian. Over the years, we often neglect the attention they deserve, replacing them with newer models.

In complete opposition to this situation is the philosophy of Berti Knives, a manufacturer of exclusive knives for various purposes. Founded in 1895 by David Berti, this small workshop seems to be entirely detached from the trends that have dominated the world throughout its history. Their main guiding principle is fidelity to tradition, which is still cultivated by the fourth generation of experienced artisans.

The owners strongly reject the idea of mass production by unskilled labor, which they believe would lead to the loss of identity of their knives. Therefore, their company's philosophy places special emphasis on the employed personnel. However, this does not mean that this Italian family is closed to any innovations. They are highly desirable, provided they do not conflict with the existing vision and can withstand long-term quality tests.

Unlike competitors, the various stages of knife production are not carried out by specialized groups of workers but are often performed from start to finish by the same person. Thanks to this practice, each blade is completely unique.
The production uses the highest quality materials — blades are made of steel, while handles are made from materials including buffalo, bison, deer horns, or 'bosso' wood.

The brand owners suggest that, despite being intended for everyday use, their products should be treated with proper respect, which guarantees their longevity. Each one is, after all, a small, unique artifact.
