Craftsmanship is beautiful because it's varied

The colors of materials used in handcrafted products may differ from those shown in images.

Horn, wood, and cornotech are raw materials with inherent variability from batch to batch: that’s the beauty of premium materials. Add to that the artisanal workmanship, where the artisan's hand never repeats the exact same motion: that’s the beauty of handmade work. Put all this together and you'll get a product that is always different and unique. And always different from that one, unrepeatable product that we necessarily have to photograph to show you what we’re offering.

Nino Morittu - Knifemaker from Silanus, Province of Nuoro

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.

Ferri taglienti è un viaggio dedicato al mondo del coltello che inizia da lontano, dalle città storiche protagoniste della produzione artigianale e arriva fino alle figure più moderne del knife maker e del knife designer.

Attraverso una serie di incontri con esperti del settore, veniamo introdotti in due diversi contesti: uno di carattere storico, partendo dal tema della “spada del popolo” e delle scuole di scherma tradizionale, l’altro più attuale, con una analisi dei crimini con arma da taglio tra odio, femminicidio e active killers.

Si continua parlando di Bushcraft e sopravvivenza, per passare infine a simbolismo, magia e superstizioni. Un libro dedicato al coltello che, invece di recidere, diventa il legame tra differenti realtà storiche e territoriali.

E' presente un completo GLOSSARIO con la terminologia specifica legata al mondo del coltello.

Scritto da Claudio Colombo: appassionato e collezionista di coltelli, formatore istituzionale e tecnico sportivo per l'Unione Italiana Tiro a Segno. Collabora con la rivista Coltelli e con il blog online ultimateknivesandgear

The legendary BuckMaster 184 Survival Knife is currently conceived and designed specifically for the Navy SEAL Team in 1980. He was created by CJ Buck (CEO of Buck Knives) and designed a small business, Qual-A-Tec, in 1981 in California. The BuckMaster is the American icon of the coltellis that emerged in the '80s and has contributed to the creation of the famous M9 bayonetta of the American army. The production was 2600 examples all'anno.

The brand new model, coming from the private collection, comes from the first production, dating back to 1984. Globally in perfect condition, only damaged and used. Only deprived of scatola.

Note: The characteristics, brief, are data of the presence of due arpioni/ganci smontabili a vite. The function of the quest is simple ancoraggio. This coltello may be infatti used as the lancio's gancio fissando una corda all'anello present sul pomello. The product guarantees a tenuta of fine arpioni at 600 libbre. I Seals della Marina, nello specifico, avevano richiesto un coltello che potesse essere usato sott'acqua per poter ancorare i mezzi ad un punto de fissaggio subacqueo, ed ecco il reason della totale costruzione en acciaio.
