Set of 4 Cilindrica citrus cutter knives by Franco Bettonica (60s)

Set of 4 citrus cutter knives never used, in perfect condition. No longer in production today, citrus cutter is part of the cylindrical bar collection designed in 1969 by Franco Bettonica - studio OPI milano - for Cini&Nils and acquired in the permanent collection of the Moma in New York. It is a tool suitable for cutting peels, slices and segments of citrus fruits. A special notch, obtained in the cylindrical handle, allows you to direct the cut with absolute precision. Thanks to the rounded tip, it is also useful for evenly spreading butter, anchovy paste, caviar, etc. Made entirely of stainless steel, the handle is brushed longitudinally while the recess, blade and terminal are mirror polished. Citrus cutter is 21 cm long and the diameter of the handle is 1 cm. The Citrus cutters are new, never used but are without the original packaging.
