When it comes to preparing food, kitchen knives are always needed in one way or another.
Whether preparing a full meal or a simple snack, kitchen knives come in all shapes and sizes to suit different needs. Made with different edges and materials, each knife is unique and essential for every household. Typically, a chef’s knife and a traditional serrated knife are two of the most commonly used knives.
Both blades have different uses in the kitchen and can do what the other cannot. Because of this, chefs often need multiple sets of each. Doppio is a double-sided kitchen knife that features the two types of blades, but on the same knife. Made from Japanese steel, it allows chefs to use one knife to complete multiple tasks without having to switch between knives.

Doppio Features
The quality of any knife is based on the quality of the materials used to craft the knife. To ensure the highest-quality, knife makers must choose the right steel. The quality of the steel used to make the blade is crucial. Using lower quality or sub-standard steel will cause the knife the dull easily and require regular sharpening.
After extensive research and testing, the creators of Doppio opted to use Japanese steel. Considered the premium quality steel for all kitchen knives, Japanese steel is the most superior steel in the world.
Chosen for its strength and long-term durability, the eight inch Doppio blade is the same length as a standard chef’s knife. Tempered and toughened, the blade is strong and can be sharpened to a razor-sharp edge. Manufactured by artisans with years of experience, Doppio was designed with a precise center of gravity.
Found at the direct center of the knife, it ensures that the knife is well-balanced. Comfortable to the touch, the double-edged blade addresses the convenience of having both a serrated and straight edge knife. Based on months of preparation, the high-quality product is a result of expert craftsmanship and high-grade materials.
Although the blade is the most important aspect of a knife, the second most important part is the handle. Having a handle that is strong, comfortable, and easy to grip is essential for any chef or home cook. As a double-sided knife, Doppio features a rounded handle to assist the switch from side to side. Regardless of which side is being used, users are able to handle the knife easily.
Ideal for right and left handed chefs alike, the bolster, edge, and grip are all symmetrical and equally measured. Users can choose between the Olive Wood and Thermoplastic material handles. The high-quality blade compliments each option to create a well-balanced, sharp, safe, trustworthy knife.
How Doppio Works
Doppio is designed to highlight the differences between serrated and straight-edge knives. A serrated edge is most suited to cut items that have a hard-outer edge. Often used where a sawing motion is required, a serrated blade is best for bread, fruits, and vegetables.
With Doppio, the serrated blade is able to cut through the hardest bread crusts and the most slippery skin. On the opposite side, the straight edge is an all-purpose blade. Best suited for peeling fruits and vegetables, it can also be used to slice or carve meat. Regardless of the task, Doppio provides the best of both worlds.
Additionally, Doppio is designed with the option of two different blade finishes. The first option, the Hand Hammered Blade, helps release food from the blade while slicing. Hammered by hand, the beautiful finish reduces drag when cutting.
Easily preventing food from sticking to the blade, each blade is hammered individually to ensure that each Doppio knife is unique. The second option, the regular blade, features a smooth, sleek, and beautiful finish. Giving the knife a stunning gleam, the simplistic blade is the perfect option for every household kitchen.
