The pizza arrives in the middle of the table. The right blade lets you enjoy the base as much as the topping. The Nogent Daily pizza knife pairs a rounded 11 cm blade, with 3 mm serrations, with a black polypropylene handle. It cuts on the plate, then goes in the dishwasher, leaving the meal as straightforward as it should be.
Cut the base, keep the topping in place
A pizza combines a crust, a softer base and toppings you want in every mouthful. The knife’s rounded blade supports the cutting movement; its serrations enter the dough to limit dragging the cheese and vegetables away. The action stays focused on the piece you are eating, rather than pulling the whole slice apart.
This knife is made in our Biesles workshops, Haute-Marne. Its XC50CrMoV15 stainless steel blade is worked there and paired with a moulded polypropylene handle. It belongs to Nogent Daily, the family of tools designed around everyday routines. A straightforward grip, a clear purpose and cleaning that fits in with the rest of the washing-up. It does not need to be reserved for a special occasion: it belongs whenever a homemade pizza or a reheated slice reaches the plate.
A table knife to complement the pizza wheel
A pizza wheel is used to divide a pizza before serving. The pizza knife then accompanies each person at the table. They work at different stages, so neither has to replace the other to be useful. Think about the moment you need the tool, not only the dish itself.
The blade can also work with savoury tarts, quiches and focaccia. The recipe changes, but there is still a base and topping to cut together. Adapt your movement to the texture, allowing the edge to work rather than pulling at the portion.
For a pizza evening, one knife per person avoids passing the same tool around. Its black handle sits alongside existing cutlery without requiring a whole new table setting. Afterwards, the knife goes in the dishwasher, ready for the next dough, the next topping and the next conversation. Homemade food can stay that simple: a few ingredients and appropriate tools for sharing them.
