Fioretto Sharpener

One example of how beautiful objects can also be functional. The Fioretto knife sharpener is a design from Alessi's Spring/Summer 2011 collection. When used to sharpen a knife it resembles a floret or a spade, when placed in the container with the blade down it pretends to be a beautiful Cantedesca flower. The calyx of the flower provides excellent protection against the sharpened knife. The coating of the nib with diamond dust is a guarantee of perfect sharpening. Fioretto used after each series of cuts will ensure a constant high quality of the blade and allow precise cutting.

The product is made of plastic and stainless steel coated with diamond dust.
