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.

The Mission Team 21 is a no-nonsense tactical knife that can also easily carry out many activities in the field. The handle has been designed to remain in the operator's hand even in difficult situations thanks to the finger grooves, finger guard and jimping. If necessary, the knife can also be used in survival situations.

Created with the guidance of Bill Hill (Command Master Chief-Seal Team 3 retired with over 30 years of real-time experience), this design has produced a great field tool for any theater. Very nice aesthetically, feels good in the hand and always performs at its best.
