Cutting edge

An essential kitchen tool, the right knife is an absolute must for every chef. We highlight some key options…

Rustic style

Oozing a dark rustic style to beautifully complement the barbeque culture for which Tramontina are renowned, the Black Collection Knives (part of the wider Black Collection containing an outstanding array of barbeque items) feature seven expert pieces - a 6” boning knife, 8” and 10” meat knives, a 10” butcher’s knife, a 12” slicing knife and a 7” cleaver.

The distinctive style of The Black Collection is based around the black oxide coating of the high-quality, stainless steel blade, which, as well as providing an element of non-stick, gives a darkened tone and enhances the characteristic appearance, without compromising on quality.

Sculpted handles, which feature distinctive stainless-steel rivets, are made from FSC certified wood with a coating which darkens the wood to intensify this rustic style.
