Italian tradition

Achille,
That is quite the extensive list, it never dawned on me that there would be such a varied selection within the country. I have book marked this page for future use. I would love to see pictures of each, I think I will slowly do a Google search for the varied knives as time permits. It would be great to see a copendium of this list with referneces and photos. Grazie mille, for taking the time to send this list. My dad and brother in law are travelling to Abruzzo soon, I may have to find something for them to bring me back :D
Once again, thank you for this list.
John
 
A good starting point would be visiting the web pages of Consigli Scarperia and Coltellerie Berti. They both offer quite a range of Italian traditional patterns.
As for Sardinian knives...well...you will have to deal with the Sardinian Connection eventually :rolleyes:

I brought the list over to page 2. Filling that list would make quite a collection! I have 3 or 4, a looongg way from complete!
 
As for Sardinia, you could add:
- Logudorese (unless that's what you call resolza, which is a mistake, since resolza means "folder" and basically identifies all Sardinian pocket knives),
- Corrina (fixed blade twin of the Pattadesa)
Italy is a country that has received influences from many cultures (from the Middle East to Nordic to Spain) and has strong regional identities, so that's why you see so many different patterns (even though they're all single bladed knives).

Thank you Fausto for those websites, I have book marked them and will check them out. As for the Sardinian connection I experienced it when we were travelling to Bosa and we stopped in a little town called Bitti on a recommendation from my cousin to buy some cheese. That stop was one of the more memorable experiences in my life. I'll tell you over a glass of wine some day, I don't want to bore the others.
Saluti,
John
 
Beautiful knives here, thank you for sharing!
I particularly like the Siciliano, and in fact have been searching for one for some time now (an automatic, made by the Beltrame family in Maniago)... just have to find one at the right price. ;)
