Ravioli Cutter
About
There is something deeply satisfying about pasta made by hand, and the tools you choose to work with matter. Katto approaches their Ravioli Cutter with the same philosophy that defines their broader collection: honest materials, considered proportions, and nothing extraneous. The wheel itself is milled from solid brass, giving it a pleasing heft that allows gravity to do much of the work as you guide it through sheets of fresh dough. No downward pressure needed, just a gentle roll that leaves behind crisp, fluted edges with the kind of precision that elevates homemade pasta to something worthy of a proper Sunday table.
The handle is carved from black walnut, a wood prized for its density and the warmth it brings to the palm. Each piece carries its own subtle grain variations, ensuring no two cutters are identical. The tactile contrast between cool metal and oiled timber creates a sensory experience that makes the act of cutting feel less like kitchen labor and more like craft. For those who spend hours making ravioli, agnolotti, or other filled pastas, the ergonomics matter. This handle was shaped to prevent fatigue during extended sessions, fitting the natural curve of the grip without requiring you to clench or adjust.
Over time, the brass develops a gentle patina while the walnut deepens in tone, both materials aging gracefully with use. This is kitchenware designed to become an heirloom rather than a disposable convenience.
