Maggio 2018

The particular situation created in the early years of the 1914/18 war, now mired in increasingly complex and protected trenches and fortifications, favored the formation of men who, little by little, specialized in the coup.

Our assault units, the Arditi, had their dagger. It was obtained from the pieces cut away by the long blades of the Vetterli 1870 bayonets, which in the narrow trenches, in the corridors, between the reticulars were only an obstacle. It was certainly a rustic weapon, of recovery, not too beautiful but certainly inexpensive, light, not cumbersome and in expert hands also effective.

Today, on the occasion of the centenary, we recall this important page of Italian military history with a limited celebratory series in only 100 numbered copies. This version has a satin blade and a walnut wood handle and is sold with a wooden box and leather sheath.
