Ancient Knives From Sicily
Description
The most comprehensive photographic book on the antique Sicilian knives
Some people have called the antique Sicilian knife the king of Italian knives. Although almost impossible to find, the types and variations represented in this book are numerous and some of them breathtaking.
"I have always considered it the cruelest and most ruthless of all knives; it is culturally linked mostly to offensive attitudes, offering very interesting ideas. As you will see below, I have tried to describe each artefact in an essential way, explaining its characteristics in a concise form; [...] Having been produced over the centuries, in a territory invaded and dominated by very important peoples, has given small portions of DNA to its design, creating essential and unique objects." (The author)
