The three brothers Antonello, Giancarlo and Danilo Piccioni are skilled knife makers from Guspini, a small town in the South of Sardinia, renowned for its long tradition of handmade knives for agro-pastoral use, where the well-known guspinese type was first created and takes its name. Their creativity is evident in the entirely handcrafted highly functional and precious knives, in the combination of materials and in the details of manufacture. Each of them embarked on the ancient cutler’s craft almost by chance. After several training experiences, Antonello was the first to tackle, as a self-taught knife maker, the techniques of this craft, later also involving his brothers. What fascinates them is the combination of procedures that makes the creation of a perfectly finished product possible, a one-off exclusive piece, starting from the metalworking for the blade, the crafting of horn and wood for the handle, and finally the techniques and secrets of assembly and finishing, a challenge that is renewed with every single creation. The Piccioni brothers set up their workshop in 2012 in the centre of their town, where they carry on the ancient skill with established professionalism. They promote and exhibit their creations at the rich circuit of local festivals, fetes and fairs, also taking part in national fair events such as the well-known Artigiano in Fiera in Milan.
