Springless shoe knife handcrafted in steel and boxwood Made in Italy.

This line of regional knives are part of the ancient tradition and are handcrafted by master cutlers who are experts in the sector who respect traditional techniques, thus managing to bring back to life the uses and customs of a place. These types of knives are typical of different capitals and areas of the Italian peninsula and, thanks to the love for tradition, they bring back to life the culture and habits of the past, thus managing to tell a piece of history.

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.
