The symbolic meaning of love knife, so you call the knife produced specifically to be exchanged between engaged, is twofold: - given to man symbolizes the incitement to the courage, virility, to prevail in the social context - given the woman takes the significance of accepting the commitment to defend their honor and the faith given to the blood. For both finally assume the archaic ritual significance to sanction the signing of a contract not yet institutionalized.

Craftsmanship is beautiful because it is varied

The colors of the materials with which the handmade products are made may vary from those shown in the images.

Horn, wood and cornotech are raw materials that by their nature have a marked variability from one supply to another: it is the beauty of quality materials. Add craftsmanship, where the craftsman's hand never makes the same gesture: it's the beauty of craftsmanship. Combine all this and you will always have a different and unique product. It is always different from the one and unrepeatable product that we must necessarily photograph if we want you to understand what we are talking about and what we are offering you.
