Nino Morittu creates unique knives, pieces of rare artisanal beauty designed, drawn and finished personally. Each knife is a masterpiece of exceptional craftsmanship, demonstrating his skill in the art of knifemaking. His works, regularly exhibited at various knife shows, have gained wide recognition from collectors and amateurs alike. Morittu prefers the use of C70 type steels and does not produce in large quantities, keeping each piece exclusive thanks to his meticulous artisanal method.
The precision in the details makes his knives almost perfect, testifying to a deep love for work well done. Aesthetically superb, they represent excellent craftsmanship and a passion for quality materials. Morittu's creations are exhibited in internationally renowned museums such as Albacete in Spain, Montreal in Canada, as well as in the United States and Berlin, Germany.
Renowned for his perfectionism, Morittu is often compared to Calaresu, another master knifemaker known for his attention to detail. A distinctive feature of his work is the exclusive use of "paired" horns for the handles, ensuring that there are never any visual disparities between the scales.

Piscitelli has been making knives in Frosolone for three generations, a small town in the Molise hinterland known for its knife-making. The Art, Style and Tradition allow us to give importance and originality to our creations handed down from generation to generation.
Giovanni Piscitelli, born in Frosolone (IS). The passion for collection and hunting knives I inherited from my father (master craftsman) from whom I also inherited the most sophisticated techniques. My knives are unique pieces, strictly handcrafted.
When producing a knife, there are many elements that make a difference. In addition to a difference in value in the choice of materials, it is the labor required to perform certain operations, closely connected to the construction complexity that makes the knife more valuable. The reasons that justify the differences can also lie in the processing of the blade, or of the handle (elements that it is good to remember are modeled and finished exclusively by hand).
