Saladini knife MAREMMANO A FOGLIA buffalo horn
handmade regional knife from Italy, made by the company SALADINI from Scarperia in the heart of Tuscany,
the balde is made from stainless UGINOX MA5MV (1.4116 HRC56-58) steel, the finish is mat, the scales are made from buffalo horn
This is the older version of the Maremmano of Scarperia. It has a more sinuous coating compared with the latest model and the blade has a typical spear shape with a blunt spine, which probably means it is a close relation to the traditional Roman knives of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. The old shape of this model requires a blade with a single cutting edge without any panelling. It is a simple, robust knife with an understated point that makes it suitable for all purposes.

SALADINI
Saladini is based in Scarperia, a small town in Tuscany about 20 kilometres from Florence. Its landmark is the Palazzo Pretorio in Scarperia, with its striking tower.
Scarperia was founded on 8 September 1306 and its special feature is the old tradition of knife making, or rather ‘cutting iron’, as these objects used to be called in the old days.
Saladini wants to preserve this ancient tradition of handcrafting pocket knives, cutlery and chef's knives. Everything is made with the care and attention that objects created with love and dedication deserve.
