the balde is made from stainless UGINOX MA5MV (1.4116 HRC56-58) steel, the finish is mat, the scales are made from olive wood
This knife was the most common blade in Corsica and became the traditional model of that region. The blade is often engraved with the word “vendetta”. However, this knife bears certain features which link it to ancient models from Genoa and Piedmont, such as the long, narrow shape of the bolster and the blade, as well as the traditional spring locking system found in French knives, which is the sign of their historical influence on this island. The knife is very sturdy thanks to its incredibly stylish characteristic metal frame.
We craft two different versions, one with studs and one without.

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.
