What's new?
It was a simple chopper, but beautiful, the starting point. The knives would come later, seven in all, each with their own function. And finishing the carving. No more. There are ten sister pieces, to sell together, essential in the kitchen that wants to be refined. The blade, sharp, is worked to the millimeter. No flaws. The handle, in laminate, soft to the touch, captivating to the eye. This profile of this prestigious set is outlined.

What's new? (cont.)
The name chosen was Shark. And more I can’t say. It remains to wait for July when ICEL celebrates half a century of history. Plácido Afonso, designer, with an honorable mention for this same chopper, will then see his line on the market. In selected stores across the country. Stay tuned. It is a very serious case.
