Small Hand Tools

This is the core “salumi handling kit” that takes you from stuffing to a clean, stable hang with fewer defects. The stainless steel tying needle is your workhorse for lacing and securing twine—building strong hanging loops, stitching tight ends, and keeping shapes uniform. The multi-needle salumi pricker is the quality-control move right after stuffing: it vents trapped air pockets so the casing seats properly against the farce, reducing blowouts and helping prevent voids that can turn into ugly pockets during drying. Once tied, the stainless steel meat/ham hook (unsharpened) makes hanging safer and more consistent—easy transfers to smokehouse rails or curing racks without tearing product. The ring butcher’s twine knife keeps everything fast and clean at the station—quick cuts, less fumbling, and fewer sloppy ends. And for traditional Italian whole-muscle work, the “Ago Osso di Cavallo” (Italian horse bone needle) adds that old-world finesse for testing various whole muscles.

Together, these tools make your workflow tighter: fewer air pockets, cleaner ties, safer hangs, better shapes, and better-looking slices—the little details that separate “homemade” from “professional salumeria.”
