Luxurious Zanetto Riflessi fruit knife

Exquisite fruit knife from Italy finished with a stunning PVD method.

Created by the Italian manufacturer Zanetto, where artisanal masterpieces are crafted, including accessories for offices, salons, as well as innovative interior design products. 

The company was founded by Bernardo Zanetto in 1963, who from a very young age was passionate about working with precious metals. 

He dedicated a lot of free time to observing the work of Italian craft enthusiasts in workshops located in the heart of Padua. 

At the age of 14, he secured his dream job in one of these workshops – from the very beginning, his unique talent was evident. Determined and composed, with astonishing talent, he eventually decided to start his own business. 

A few years later, he achieved his first recognition – a gold medal at the International Craft Fair in Florence. Through collaboration with other craft enthusiasts, his workshop continued to grow, and today it boasts worldwide popularity!

The finishing process using physical vapor deposition (PVD), carried out in a vacuum, involves electroplating with this technique products can be uniformly coated in any gold color.

PVD coating offers many advantages, including:

1. exceptional surface hardness,
2. optimal resistance to wear and scratches,
3. corrosion resistance,
4. resistance to UV radiation; resistance to acids and solvents,
5. strong adhesion – PVD layers adhere tightly to the substrate and do not peel off
6. high durability – typical PVD layer lasts about 10 years
7. low process temperature (100-360°C), which prevents thermal deformation
8. this process is environmentally friendly
