Description
Auction proposes this elegant and sought-after model "Pescatore" Nino, one of the most fascinating interpretations of the marine tradition of central Italy.

With a total length of 16 cm and a 7 cm blade, 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 bring out its grain and natural color variations, making each specimen unique.

For those who live and work in close contact with nature, the knife has always 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 traces its roots to the coastal tradition between Marche and Abruzzo, where the historic Lucantoni family made these knives destined for Adriatic sailors. Light, reliable, and manageable, it was designed to be carried in the pocket and used every day.

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