Knife - Essential Tool for Camping, Outdoor Adventure and collection

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 brand Artigiano Scarperia was established in 2007 by two expert knife makers, Fabio Gasparrini and Alessandro Conti. Drawing inspiration from ancient art, they create refined cutlery for the kitchen and table, assortments of personal care items and office supplies, as well as various objects in horn and wood. All products are handcrafted, using traditional techniques without the use of machinery.

For this reason, any variations in material and workmanship are not considered flaws, but distinctive features of a unique product, handcrafted and of high quality.

This slender-shaped knife with a curved handle derives from ancient models, used by the shepherds of Abruzzo.
Its adoption in the repertoire of knives manufactured in Scarperia (where the particular fold of the handle earned it the name of "hunchback") dates back to the end of the nineteenth century and took place without obvious changes compared to the original type, equipped with a simple spring and one piece bovine horn handle.

The craftsmanship is beautiful because it is varied

The colors of the materials with which the handicrafts 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: this is the beauty of quality materials. Add the craftsmanship, where the hand of the craftsman never performs the same gesture: it is the beauty of craftsmanship. Combine all this and you will have a product that is always different and unique. It is always different from that unique and unrepeatable product that we must necessarily photograph if we want to make you understand what we are talking about and what we are offering you.
