This article represents a
faithful reproduction of the knife called "
Scarpetta ", a type of
regional pocket
knife produced starting from the early 19th century in the city of Scarperia. What characterizes this knife is the particular
shape of the shoe in the final part of the handle which actually has nothing to do with the name of the country but represents a choice aimed at not letting the tip of the blade protrude from the bottom of the knife once closed. . This method used is also found on other knives coming from very distant places, suggesting that they are reinterpretations or modifications made on some existing models. The blade is made of
MA5M steel and is locked in the open position with a
springless mechanism , a feature that makes opening and closing the blade easier even for female hands. The handle instead has a full
boxwood handle enriched by grooves and engravings.
Handcrafted in Italy with quality materials, the final product allows you to tell a story by bringing to mind the uses and customs of
the past and at the same time handing down the
culture of the past thanks to the attention to detail and the passion of the master cutlers.
