Few objects have accompanied the life and activity of man like the knife; omnipresent on the table of the poor and powerful, faithful tool in the work of the fields and the woods, companion of a thousand adventures and dangers, pledge of love, symbol of fidelity.. In the case of entire communities, such as that of Scarperia, dedicated to the manufacture of sharp irons, the knife is an element of identity and collective memory.
