In some areas of central and southern Italy, it was customary to give knives as engagement or wedding gifts, assigning the knife the task of sanctioning the love bond.

There was a strong identification between man and knife: the lover who gave such a gift to the woman symbolically offered himself, while the gift given to the man could be interpreted as an exhortation to virile valor.

Some specimens of this historical knife also served as protection against the evil eye, featuring the characteristic “dice eyes” on the handle, while the blades were traditionally engraved with decorative and symbolic elements.

The love knives were also indicative of the social class of the family: less wealthy couples, unable to afford very elaborate knives, sanctioned their love with simpler, less worked, and less expensive objects, but identical in values and meanings.

The Hermione was a Concorde class frigate of the French Navy, launched in 1779 in Rochefort, France.

Entirely made of oak, the ship was 145 feet long (44 meters), weighed 550 tons (1160 tons fully loaded), and was armed with 32 guns of 12 pounds. Aboard dell'Hermione, in 1780, General La Fayette and his crew reached America and fought on the side of the separatists, making the ship one of the symbols of the American War of Independence. To relive that historic trip, in 1997 a group of enthusiasts has created the Hermione project, in Rochefort, creating an exact replica of the ship. These days the ship is the first test at sea. In 2015 he sailed to the United States, retracing the steps of General La Fayette, to arrive in Boston on July 4, the feast day of the United States Independence.

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.
