Adrien Giovaninetti PICCOLO warthog ivory stone washed blade
The PICCOLO combines tradition and elegance.
The Piccolo (Italian for small) is based on traditional knife shapes such as the Yssingeaux or the Sauveterre. Nevertheless, the knife designed by Adrien Giovaninetti is independent. The purely handcrafted pocket knife fits perfectly in the hand. The handle scales are made of high-quality, rare desert warthog ivory. The drop-point blade consists of a stonewashed blade made of 14C28N stainless steel. The back spring was provided with a fine guillochage. The finish of the blade is matt, the handle scales polished. The shapely, elegant slipjoint knife is impeccably crafted. Another practical feature is that the knife can be attached to belt loops with the accompanying strap.
Whether in everyday life, in a restaurant or at a picnic, the Piccolo is a perfect companion that you soon won't want to do without.

Adrien Giovaninetti - cutler in Thiers/France
Before Adrien Giovaninetti began his career as a cutler, he studied music and then worked as a jazz musician and guitar teacher. In 2013, Adrien left Paris and began training as a cutler at Robert David's forge in Thiers. After just three years, he had already developed his first knife model, the LOMBARD.
During his training, he lived in a small village called Lombard, which belongs to the district of Thiers. As many knife models are named after a town or region, he called his first work Le LOMBARD. In the meantime, new models such as the TEDESCO and the PICOLLO have followed.
