The Berti family has been making knives for more than one hundred years, since 1895. It all began with David when he opened his first workshop in Via dell’Oche in Scarperia, and the family tradition has continued without interruption ever since: David was followed by Severino then Alvaro and now Andrea is keeping the wonderful tradition alive. Remember though, producing knives just for the sake of inheriting a tradition is not enough, it is important to have been doing it for quite some time, just about a century!

The work of a sole craftsman. Signed with his initials. Confirming his craft and its value.

Every Knife produced at Coltellerie Berti, is the product of one pair of artisan hands. Whoever begins it finishes it. This is the essence of hand crafting in the Berti family, which since 1895 has insisted on the joy of possessing a real hand-made knife in the most authentic of artisan traditions. And so to declare it convincingly every Berti knife has the artisan’s initials cut into its blade.

Simple knife handle with or without spring spring. The term "mozzetti" indicates all knives without a point at the end of the blade. The idea was to create a knife intended only for cutting. One that could be carried freely, quite different from the usual pointed knife of the period. In the early 1900, when the laws regarding knives were becoming more and more restrictive, the Mozzetta was the solution. There is also a variation of this knife with a concave blade (razor like) particularly indicated for delicate cuts.

Blade: stainless steel, mirror finish.

Handle: ox horn.

Total length of the knife: 20.5 cm.

Total length of the blade: 8.9 cm.

Weight: 82 g.

Additional description:

laser cut blade and laser cut spring: laser-cut blade with special steel plate, with a high carbon grade, offers great cutting power. Every blade has been tempered at 1055 degrees Celsius and sub-frozen at - 80 degrees Celsius;
simple spring in the Italian manner: it is a spring which makes the blade stable, but not fixed. To open or close the knife you must overcome the resistance of the spring, but this is not a locking device;
ox horn handle: the horn used is always scrap from the slaughter of animals who have reached the end of their field working life. This allows full growth of the horns and allows to get the best horn quality without any direct or further sacrifice of animals. They only use the full tip which affords the best quality in terms of beauty and stability through time. However it should be remembered that horn is living matter, which undergoes changes through time.

Handmade in Italy.
