The blades of these knives are forged by master artisans at l’Artigiano Coltelli di Scarperia, a workshop located in the Tuscan village of Scarperia—known as “The City of Knives” for its centuries-old tradition of fine cutlery. I remember having to fold in the mirrors of my Citroën Aircross just to navigate the narrow cobbled streets that lead to this historic craft center.

Each handle is hand-shaped from exotic woods and animal horn, making every piece a true objet d’intérêt. The variations in grain, color, and pattern ensure that no two knives are ever the same. These knives are not just functional; they carry with them a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and artistry—sure to delight your guests as much as the meal itself.

Please note:

• The blades are consistent in size and appearance.

• The wooden handles will naturally vary in grain and texture.

• Handles made from ox, deer, and other horns will differ in shape, tone, and pattern.

• All animal-derived materials are ethically obtained and fully compliant with U.S. Customs and Fish & Wildlife Department regulations.
