The "Roman" testifies to the widespread mentality in the Papal States for which the knife was considered as a faithful friend to be constantly worn "in his pocket" and to be unleashed at the first hint of a fight or for an immediate response.

Many elements constituting the "Roman" bear witness to the offensive use that distinguished this knife: the sharp blade, the decorations of the lattice handle or fish bone that served to improve the grip, the locking system with fixed spring that prevented the knife could close up accidentally and that at the time of the opening emitted a dry noise that exalted the aggressive expression.

Craftsmanship is beautiful because it is varied

The colors of the materials with which the handmade products are made may vary from those shown in the images.

Horn, wood and cornotech are raw materials that by their nature have a marked variability from one supply to another: it is the beauty of quality materials. Add craftsmanship, where the craftsman's hand never makes the same gesture: it's the beauty of craftsmanship. Combine all this and you will always have a different and unique product. It is always different from the one and unrepeatable product that we must necessarily photograph if we want you to understand what we are talking about and what we are offering you.

Scimitar "or" French "blade already present in the early twentieth century, production continued until the mid-1950s. The great success of this model, which was born in Scarperia has had national diffusion, is due to the fact that although it is very light it is elegant, robust and has great cutting capacity, due to the guessed shape of the blade. It is characterized by the presence of a metal "button" on the heel and a clamp at the other end of the handle.

This slender-shaped knife with a curved handle derives from ancient models, used by the shepherds of Abruzzo.
Its adoption in the repertoire of knives manufactured in Scarperia (where the particular fold of the handle earned it the name of "hunchback") dates back to the end of the nineteenth century and took place without obvious changes compared to the original type, equipped with a simple spring and one piece bovine horn handle.
