Consigli Rasolino Cigar Cutter Olive Wood Handle Regional Knife, 3-1/2-Inch Blade
The name of this knife derives from the shape of the blade that is similar to that of a razor. It was popular after the Giolitti law was passed in 1908, which imposed very strict limits to the carrying of sharp knives and encouraged the production of various models with cut-off points. The main feature of the Rasolino is its slightly back-curving blade and the shape of the handle. A hunting knife also supplied with extractors for cartridges and presented, especially in the past, in various forms. In Scarperia, the most common version, already in use at the beginning of the Eighteenth century, has a wide blade and is probably derived from older models. Equipped with a spring, with a handle in metal structure, it is particularly strong and appreciated for purposes other than hunting. Regional knives follow the noblest Italian knife tradition, a tradition that Consigli adopted as its own many-year ago, due to the fact that from time immemorial, in Scarperia, Tuscan knives were produced alongside knives linked to the usages and customs of numerous Italian regions. What has always made Consigli stand out from others, however, is their attention to detail, the fact that they have kept a production process that is still manual and faithful to the production canons of tradition, the selection of the best raw materials and, above all, the passion for a craft that has almost disappeared, leaving it up to just a few companies to keep intact a precious patrimony like the land from which it comes. This is why the knives produced by the Scarperia company are unanimously recognized as products of the highest quality. ...Read more
