The APCI TS01 007M Chef Selection Roll by Ambrogio Sanelli is a set of professional knives developed in collaboration with APCI, the Association of Italian Professional Chefs, and designed by the APCI Chef Lab team to meet the real needs of chefs in the kitchen.
This roll represents a complete and versatile selection of tools from Sanelli's Tecna line, designed to support the chef's daily work with precision, reliability, and practicality.
The blades are made of special nitrogen-filled NITRO-B steel (1.4916), a material that guarantees excellent corrosion resistance, long-lasting cutting edge durability, and high performance over time.
The handles of the Tecna line are designed for intensive professional use and are made with a double-molding system that combines a rigid polypropylene core, perfectly bonded to the steel tang, with a softer SEBS outer coating.
The two materials adhere perfectly, forming a single body, while the external surface with microspheres improves ergonomics, reduces slippage, and increases comfort during prolonged use.
All materials used are non-toxic, sterilizable, resistant to high and low temperatures, and dishwasher safe, in full compliance with current hygiene and food safety regulations. The roll also includes the APCI card, a distinctive element that certifies the collaboration with the Association of Italian Professional Chefs and further enhances this set designed for those who live the kitchen with passion and professionalism.

TC47.024L: Chef's Carving Knife, 24 cm honeycomb blade, ideal for precise and smooth cuts.

FAQs
What distinguishes Ambrogio Sanelli cases, sets and complete knife blocks?
Ambrogio Sanelli cases, sets and complete knife blocks are designed to provide an organised, coherent and ready-to-use selection of tools. They are not simply a group of knives, but a structured solution for users who want the right tools arranged in a functional way. The main difference lies in the intended use: cases prioritise transport and mobility, sets provide a coordinated blade selection, while knife blocks offer order and accessibility in a fixed workstation.
Who are cases, sets and complete knife blocks recommended for?
They are recommended for chefs, culinary students, food-service professionals, food laboratories and advanced users who need a complete and rational selection of knives. A case is especially useful for those moving between kitchens, courses or external services; a set is suitable for building a coherent base; a knife block is ideal for users who want their knives always accessible and organised in a stable workstation.
What are these complete solutions ideal for?
These solutions are ideal for organising work, protecting blades and reducing tool dispersion. In professional settings, they help speed up preparation, improve workstation order and ensure that each knife has a clear function. In advanced home use, they make it easier to build a complete knife selection without choosing every single model separately.
How should cases, sets and complete knife blocks be maintained?
Maintenance concerns both the knives and the storage system. Blades should be hand washed, dried immediately and sharpened regularly, while cases and blocks should be kept clean, dry and orderly. Correct storage prevents blade contact, reduces edge damage and improves overall safety and hygiene.
What truly distinguishes Ambrogio Sanelli knives within the professional cutlery market?
Ambrogio Sanelli is one of the most recognisable historic Italian brands in the professional cutlery sector. Unlike many manufacturers focused primarily on extreme hardness or ultra-refined cutting precision, the Sanelli philosophy prioritises reliability, ergonomics, operational continuity and durability in everyday professional use. These knives are developed for long working sessions in professional kitchens, food laboratories, butcher shops and gastronomy environments, maintaining a practical balance between performance, comfort and ease of management.
What is the production philosophy behind Ambrogio Sanelli?
The Ambrogio Sanelli philosophy is deeply connected to real professional knife use. The goal is not to create extremely delicate or highly specialised blades, but reliable and ergonomic tools capable of supporting intensive daily workflows. Each line is developed with a specific operational logic: some focus on robustness and productivity, while others prioritise ergonomics, comfort or a more refined cutting feel.
Who are Ambrogio Sanelli knives recommended for?
Ambrogio Sanelli knives are particularly suited to professional chefs, butchers, food industry operators, culinary schools and advanced users looking for reliable and practical cutting tools. Depending on the selected line, the brand can satisfy users seeking robustness and productivity as well as those preferring greater ergonomics, precision or cutting sensitivity.
What are Ambrogio Sanelli knives ideal for?
Ambrogio Sanelli knives perform best in environments where operational continuity, reliability and comfort directly affect work quality.

How should Ambrogio Sanelli knives be maintained?
Maintenance follows a simple but professional approach: regular sharpening, hand washing and immediate drying help preserve cutting continuity, ergonomics and long-term durability. Compared to many very hard Japanese blades, several Ambrogio Sanelli lines are more forgiving and easier to manage during intensive professional use.
