About me

I am 28 years old and I live in the countryside of Badoere, a small village near Treviso and Venice, Italy.

I make knives to propose functional and reliable tools with refined aesthetics. I personally carry out every step of the creation process in my workshop.

I strongly believe that handcrafted work is where the maker can bring to life an object that reflects its own being, vision and passion.

I have been recognized as Master by the Italian Knifemakers Guild, Voting Member of the Knifemakers’ Guild (US) and Apprentice Smith of the American Bladesmith Society.
