Description
Auctioning this elegant and sought-after model "Pescatore" by Nino, one of the most captivating interpretations of the central Italian maritime tradition.

With a total length of 20 cm and a blade of 8.5 cm, this knife stands out for its perfect balance between compactness, practicality, and elegance. The handle is made of natural polished horn, carefully selected and worked to enhance its grain and natural shades, making every piece unique.

For those who live and work in close contact with nature, the knife has long been an indispensable tool. At sea, it often represented much more than a simple utensil: it was the daily companion of the fisherman, used for a wide range of needs during long days of work.

The "Pescatore" model roots itself in the tradition of the coasts between Marche and Abruzzo, where the historic Lucantoni family made these knives for the sailors of the Adriatic. Lightweight, reliable, and easy to handle, it was designed to be carried in a pocket and used every day.

A knife that embodies history, tradition, and Italian maritime culture, particularly valued by collectors and enthusiasts of regional cutlery.
