Caraffa Knife Suite — 5 + Block
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELZORVAN Atelier — the cook's instruments
The Caraffa does the week with edges to spare: forged blades with hardness and angle stated on the card, riveted walnut handles over full tangs, and a block that seats every knife edge-down and finger-safe.
The metal shop works the old sequence: copper spun to 2.5 millimetres and tinned by hand over open flame, cast iron poured and enamelled twice, blades forged, ground and honed to a stated angle. Every pan is weighed, every lid lapped to its pot, and every piece struck with the house mark only after the bench has cooked on its twin.

Care
Carbon blades patina blue-grey with use — that is seasoning, not neglect; wipe dry and oil monthly. Stainless asks only for dryness and respect.
Our bench regrinds chips, rehandles cracked scales and returns the knife with a fresh edge card — knives are for grandchildren too.
Questions, Answered
Do blocks come sized to the knife suites?
Yes — every block and station lists which suites it seats, edge-down and finger-safe. Buying suite and block together earns the atelier's fitting at no charge.
What steel are the knives?
Forged high-carbon stainless or true carbon steel, stated per suite with hardness and edge angle on the card. Handles are riveted walnut or oak; nothing is glued to hope.
The ELZORVAN Promise
Every ELZORVAN piece states its materials as contract, not poetry: copper gauge in millimetres, porcelain firing in degrees, linen weight in grams per square metre — printed on the card in the box and honoured on the bench for fifteen years.
