105,51 €This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Due Cigni Pratiko 2 – Petty Black G10, Satin Sandvik 12C27 by Michele Massaro (2C 3001) is a versatile Petty kitchen knife designed for precise cutting and filleting.
Due Cigni Pratiko 2 – Petty for precise kitchen work
Due Cigni Pratiko 2 – Petty Black G10, Satin Sandvik 12C27 by Michele Massaro (2C 3001) is a kitchen knife with a Petty profile, designed by Michele Massaro for precise work with smaller ingredients. It combines an elongated, slender blade made of Sandvik 12C27 steel, a Satin finish, and a handle made of durable G10 composite. This design is ideal for slicing vegetables, preparing fruit, filleting smaller fish, portioning, and tasks requiring precise control of the tip.
The Pratiko 2 Petty has a more substantial form than classic, very small utility knives, providing greater stability when working on a cutting board. At the same time, its thin tip allows for precise cuts and enables you to work in places where a larger chef’s knife would be less handy. It’s a practical tool for those who want to add a precise, lightweight, and comfortable knife to their kitchen set for everyday use.
Sandvik 12C27 – Stainless Steel for Everyday Cooking
Sandvik 12C27 is a stainless steel prized for its good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and stable edge retention. In a kitchen knife, it performs well during regular contact with moisture, vegetable and fruit juices, food, and the cutting board. It is a practical material for users who want to keep their knife in good condition without having to resort to complicated maintenance methods.
A hardness level of 55–57 HRC provides a reasonable balance between ease of sharpening and edge durability. The knife can be quickly sharpened on a ceramic sharpener, a water stone, or a guided sharpening system, which is particularly important in the kitchen, where the knife’s cutting edge needs to be maintained regularly.
Petty Profile – Thin Tip and Precise Blade Guidance
The Petty profile is designed for precise kitchen tasks that require more control than a large Chef’s knife can provide. The slender blade makes it easier to slice smaller ingredients, trim vegetables, portion food, fillet, and work on fine details. The thin tip allows for precise cuts and enables the blade to be guided close to the food’s structure.
The blade geometry is designed to support smooth, controlled cutting and high precision. The Satin finish gives the blade surface a clean, professional look that fits well with the functional character of the Pratiko 2 series.
Black G10 – a durable handle for kitchen work
The handle made of G10 combines mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and good moisture resistance. This composite performs well in a kitchen environment, where the knife comes into regular contact with water, steam, and fluctuating temperatures. The textured surface provides a more secure grip, even with damp hands.
The Black color gives the design a simple, professional look, and the handle’s minimalist geometry allows for comfortable handling during extended use. The use of G10 makes the Pratiko 2 Petty more durable for everyday use than classic knives with wooden handles, while maintaining a lightweight and functional design.
Why choose the Due Cigni Pratiko 2 Petty?
The Due Cigni Pratiko 2 Petty is a good choice for those who need a precise kitchen knife to complement larger blades. Sandvik 12C27 steel ensures easy maintenance and convenient sharpening, the Petty profile makes it easier to work with smaller ingredients, and the G10 handle performs well in a demanding kitchen environment.
Michele Massaro’s design combines practical geometry, an appropriate working length, and modern materials. This is a knife for users who expect precision, comfort, and durability from a kitchen tool without an overly elaborate form.
