Saladini knife SENESE olive wood
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 olive wood
Very similar to the Fiorentino in appearance, the main difference with this knife is that the handle does not have any metal trimmings. Compared with the Fiorentino, it has sleeker lines and a rather elegant finned profile. The handle is typically made from hot-forged ox horn and fitted with a simple spring mechanism, while the butt is sometimes crafted with small carvings. This model fully deserves its place among the Scarperia classics.

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.
