Stalgast Sanelli 18 cm Professional Cutting Knife

A cutting knife designed for controlled slicing through meat, poultry and firm vegetables. The blade runs the full length of the handle, concentrating force at the edge so each stroke requires less effort and leaves cleaner cuts.

The knife's edge is hardened to a level that balances sharpness and durability. This hardness allows the blade to hold its edge through repeated use, reducing the frequency of honing and sharpening in a busy kitchen. The weight of the blade does the work; the operator guides it with minimal pressure, maintaining precision even when cutting dense or frozen product.

The handle combines two plastics: a rigid core for strength and a softer outer layer for grip. This construction prevents the knife from twisting in the hand during long service, reducing fatigue and improving safety. The handle is shaped to fit the natural curve of the fingers, so the knife can be used for extended periods without discomfort.

The 18 cm blade length is chosen for tasks that require a balance between manoeuvrability and cutting surface. It is long enough to slice through large joints or whole birds in a single pass, yet short enough to control when portioning smaller items. The blade is ground to a fine taper, so it enters the product cleanly and exits without tearing.

The knife is constructed entirely of materials that withstand commercial dishwashing cycles. The blade resists corrosion and the handle does not absorb moisture or harbour bacteria. After use, the knife should be washed, dried and stored in a knife block or magnetic strip to protect the edge and prevent accidents.

This model is part of the Stalgast Sanelli range, manufactured in Italy and supplied as a single knife in the 18 cm size.
