Meet the Maker
Berti
Italy
The story behind Berti’s heirloom-worthy knives is as enchanting as it gets: It all started back in 1895, when David Berti opened up shop in the Tuscan countryside. Well over a century later, his great-grandson Andrea keeps the family tradition going, using the very same materials as years ago (read: ox horn, boxwood, and steel). The best bit? Every knife is completely handmade by a single artisan, and finished off with the maker’s initials on the blade—wow.

Stunning!
These knives are as beautiful as they are functional. Razor sharp with stunning red handles. I got the paring knife and the tomato knife and hope to add others to my collection.
Worth every penny
Gorgeous red, weighty in the hands, cuts bread beautifully. This is an heirloom knife, for sure. Worth the price.
