About Us

An independent UK specialist for Italian-made pasta and pizza tools, kitchen equipment and more.

Pasta Kitchen launched in 2016 with a straightforward aim: stock the tools that actually make a difference when you're cooking Italian food at home. We're a family-run business, and Italian cooking tools are genuinely what we know. We've been selling Marcato pasta machines and Eppicotispai tools the entire time, and every product we add to the range gets used and tested by our team at home before it goes on the site.

The range has grown a lot since then, but the approach hasn't. We choose products we believe in, from brands that have been making them properly for decades. Almost everything we sell is made in Italy. Marcato pasta machines are manufactured in Campodarsego, near Padova. Berkel slicers and knives are made in Italy, in the province of Varese. Cerutti Inox and Eppicotispai are Italian-made brands we've carried for years.

We're an authorised UK retailer for the brands we carry. Everything is supplied with UK-compatible plugs where applicable, VAT is included in the price, and there are no import duties or customs surprises on delivery.* You may be able to find some of these products cheaper from overseas sellers, but what you won't get is UK warranty support, correct specifications for the UK market, or anyone to call if something goes wrong.

This 11cm steak knife is part of Berkel's Elegance range, built for the table rather than the block. The short, rigid blade cuts clean through a rare steak or a slow-cooked joint without sawing, and the glossy red handle gives a place setting some real presence. The blade is stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC, so it holds an edge through regular use and only takes a light sharpen when it's ready.

Built to hold its edge

The blade is 1.4116-X50 CrMoV15 steel, cut from a 3mm plate using an electrical upsetting process rather than stamped from thinner stock. That gives it more mass behind the edge and a hardness rating of 58 to 60 HRC, which sits in the sweet spot between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It's a straight edge rather than serrated, which gives a cleaner cut through cooked meat and is easier to keep sharp over time. A steel bolster ties the blade to the handle, so the balance stays even in the hand rather than tipping forward the way some cheaper steak knives do.

A knife worth putting on the table

This is a knife for entertaining as much as for eating. The glossy acetal resin handle carries the Berkel name in gold, and the finish is meant to be seen, not hidden away in a drawer between uses. It suits a dinner party, a steakhouse-style Sunday roast, or as a gift for someone who already has good cookware and would appreciate good cutlery to match. The wider Elegance line takes the same approach across its knives and accessories: glossy handles, a steel bolster for balance, and blades built for both edge retention and easy sharpening.

Material and care

Wash by hand in hot water and dry the blade straight away. Leaving it wet, or putting it through the dishwasher, is the quickest way to dull the finish and mark the steel. Avoid abrasive sponges or cloths on the handle, which will scuff the gloss.

Pairs well with

A good knife needs a good surface under it. Browse our chopping and cutting boards for something that won't blunt the edge, or see the rest of our kitchen knives and accessories if you're building out a fuller set over time.

Is this sold as a single knife or a set?
Yes, this listing is for a single knife, sold on its own rather than as part of a set.
Can I put it in the dishwasher?
We wouldn't recommend it. Wash it by hand in hot water and dry it straight away to keep the blade and the glossy handle looking their best.
What colour options are available?
This 11cm steak knife is available in red, with the signature glossy Elegance handle finish.
How do I keep the blade sharp?
The 58-60 HRC steel holds an edge well with normal use, and only needs occasional attention with a suitable honing steel or sharpening stone to bring it back.
Is it suitable for anything other than steak?
Yes. It handles any cooked meat cleanly, and works just as well for chops, poultry portions or a Sunday roast as it does for steak.
