This is another knife from Emilia-Romagna, which was very popular in the countryside around this area two centuries ago. The name “Saracca” probably comes from the Italian word sarago which means a white seabream, whose tapered outline resembles the shape of this knife. Its ancient origins date back at least two centuries. This knife was mainly used for work, although it is quite possible that it was used in duels or tavern brawls which were very common at the time. It is a real weapon with the incredibly sturdy frame of the handle, made from a single piece of cow horn, and an external spring mechanism which locks the blade.

SALADINI

Der Firmensitz von Saladini ist Scarperia, ein kleiner Ort in der Toskana, der ca. 20 km von Florenz entfernt ist. Das Wahrzeichen ist der Palazzo Pretorio in Scarperia, mit seinem markanten Turm.

Scarperia wurde am 8. September 1306 gegründet und seine Besonderheit ist die alte Tradition der Messer Herstellung, oder besser der "schneidenden Eisen", wie diese Objekte altsprachlich früher genannt wurden. Saladini möchte diese alte Tradition, der handwerklichen Herstellung von Taschenmessern, BTafelbesteck und Kochmessern. Alles wird mit jener Sorgfalt und Aufmerksamkeit hergestellt, die Objekte verdienen, welche mit Liebe und Hingabe geschaffen werden.
