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.

Beautiful Knife - just can't open and close!
Beautiful knife, very sharp, extremely well made. The action is so stiff that it is actually a danger to close it. I have lubricants, opening and closing for for a hundred cycles, but it is still extremely stiff. I have had knife bites trying to close it!
I'm sure there's something I'm missing, and I'd love to give it five stars, but I can't use it.
