Few days ago Paolo, a buddy of mine, sent me a mail: would you like a Senese? The Senese is a traditional italian knife, used since ages by the agrarians of my country of origin, Siena.
Of course I want it.
So, here we are:
Specs:
Total lenght 160 mm
Blade lenght 70 mm
Blade thickness 2 mm
Steel 420 (?)
Handles Cows horn
Blade-lock ---
Wheigt 50 g (roughly)
The knife was made by Coltellerie Conaz from Scarperia (FI), probably at mid 80s
Few more pics
This knife has a good cutting capacity, its light, and reasonable cheap
The common man who used this kind of knife was a real survivor, like Ciolino, here a pics form here and his wife (I guess) of 1920 circa whit their car
Ciolino was an agrarian who lived on the sourroundings of a small Tuscanys village
Certainly, a Senese knife was part of his EDC (!)
Ciao,
Alfredo
