The Maitre line combines tradition and advanced technology to create high quality knives ideal for professionals. Each knife is forged from a single piece of special stainless steel, characterised by high hardness and corrosion resistance, which ensures excellent, long-lasting performance. The balanced, ergonomic design allows prolonged use without fatigue. The acetal resin (POM) handle is impact and dishwasher resistant, ensuring hygiene and comfort. Thanks to laser marking and laser profile control, each knife is precisely identified and perfectly sharpened. The one-piece steel construction for blade and handle ensures structural strength and optimal balance. The Maitre line represents the perfect combination of Italian craftsmanship and technological innovation, offering precision instruments that elevate the professional kitchen experience. The rib steak knife is designed to precisely cut steaks, chops and other cuts of bone-in meat. Equipped with a strong, sharp and slightly curved blade, it easily glides through meat and tissue with a clean cut. Blade length: 11 cm Blade: smooth Shipping time: 3-5 days
FAQs
What is the ideal length for a chef's knife?
The most common length for a chef's knife is 20 cm (8 inches), which is perfect for most kitchen tasks. However, the ideal choice depends on several factors: Hand size: Smaller hands handle 16–18 cm blades more comfortably, while larger hands may prefer a 21–25 cm blade. Personal habits: Those who favor broad movements and long cuts might lean toward longer knives; those who prioritize precision or work in tight spaces might prefer a shorter blade. Experience level: Beginners tend to choose shorter, more manageable blades, while professionals often prefer 21 or 24 cm knives for greater efficiency. In short, there is no “perfect” size for everyone — the right length should be chosen based on comfort, control, and intended use.

What’s the best way to store kitchen knives?

Avoid keeping them loose in drawers, where they can get damaged or become a safety hazard. It’s better to use a wooden block, magnetic strip, or blade guard. You can find the right solution in our catalog.

Can I put knives in the dishwasher?

It’s highly discouraged. High heat and aggressive detergents can damage both blade and handle. Knives can also knock against other items, dulling the edge.
Read More
What does "blade hardness" mean?

Hardness refers to how resistant the steel is, measured on the Rockwell scale (HRC). The harder the steel, the better it retains its edge—but it’s also more brittle and prone to chipping.

What materials are used for knife blades?
Blades can be made of stainless steel (rust-resistant), carbon steel (very sharp but delicate), or ceramic (lightweight and razor-sharp but fragile). Premium knives often use Damascus steel or advanced alloys. Not sure which to choose? Contact us—AFcoltellerie has them all.

What are knife handles made of?
Handles can be made of wood (classic but delicate), plastic (durable and hygienic), or technical materials like micarta or G-10, which are extremely tough and non-slip even when wet.

What’s the best knife for beginners?
A 20 cm chef’s knife is the most versatile option to start with. Paired with a paring knife, it covers most everyday kitchen needs.

What are the grooves (granton edge) on a blade for?
The grooves or “granton edge” reduce friction and prevent food from sticking to the blade. They’re especially useful with wet or soft foods like fish, cheese, or vegetables.

Are there knives for left-handed users?
Yes. Some single-bevel Japanese knives are made specifically for right- or left-handed use. Many universal knives, with a double bevel, work well for both.

European or Japanese knives: what’s the difference?
European knives are sturdier, with thick, curved blades for rocking cuts and tough ingredients. Japanese knives have thinner, harder blades for clean, precise slicing—but they’re also more fragile. In short: Europeans are durable and versatile, Japanese are sharp and surgical.

What truly distinguishes the Maître line?
The Maître line introduces a more refined and elegant approach compared to the purely operational Ambrogio Sanelli ranges. While maintaining professional Italian robustness, it focuses on improved aesthetics, smoother handling and a more balanced cutting experience. The line is designed to combine visual presence, operational comfort and professional reliability.
Who is the Maître line recommended for?
The Maître line is recommended for chefs, advanced enthusiasts and users seeking a professional knife with a more refined presentation compared to lines focused exclusively on productivity. It is especially appreciated in open kitchens, refined gastronomic environments and contexts where the knife becomes part of the overall dining experience.
What is the Maître line ideal for?
The Maître line performs best in daily preparation, light professional kitchen work and tasks where comfort, precision and perceived quality must coexist without sacrificing reliability and ease of use. The cutting sensation feels smoother and more controlled than the brand’s more robust lines.
How should the Maître line be maintained?
Regular sharpening, hand washing and careful drying help preserve both blade performance and the aesthetic quality of the finishes. Proper maintenance also contributes to maintaining the smooth and pleasant cutting experience over time.
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. They are especially effective for intensive preparation tasks, repetitive cutting work and professional environments where knives are used continuously for many hours.
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.
