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.

With the Sandrin knives brand, Turmond manufactures the blades of its knives using tungsten carbide which, through a sophisticated manufacturing process, reach the extraordinary hardness of 71 HRC, while at the same time maintaining a high torsion capacity and resilience.

Sandrin model Torino; innovation and inspiration come together in this EDC knife featuring exceptional blade material, ergonomic handle design and a revolutionary new locking mechanism. The Torino model's ceramic ball bearing action offers an extremely fluid opening and closing experience. What truly makes the Torino a modern marvel is a completely redesigned mechanism called the Recoil Lock. The closing of the knife is obtained by sliding the rear spacer towards the rear, eliminating the accidental release of the blade.

This elegant knife made with a patented tungsten carbide blade with Sandrin's patented StaySharp Technology ™ keeps a clean and sharp edge for longer than traditional steel blades.
