Saladini knife MAREMMANO TRADITIONALE 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
Originating from the Maremma region between Tuscany and Lazio, this knife dates back to the first half of the nineteenth century. There are traces of this model in several examples held by the Criminology Museum in Rome, which were seized during a rebels’ revolt at Civitavecchia prison in 1848. It was typically made in Tuscany and in catalogues from the mid-nineteenth century we find models with a single panelled blade and a spine edge, where the part next to the point has been crafted to form a false edge. This knife has a sturdy frame with a traditional handle made from ox horn decorated with grooves running down the material. It has always had an important position in the knife production of Scarperia.

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.
