Zuava Pocket Knife Ox Horn Handle
Descriptions & details
The Zuava is a versatile pocket knife that can be used for a variety of tasks, from gardening to dining. It is designed with an interior metal casing and solid metal heads, making it incredibly durable and long-lasting. Additionally, the knife features a bolster, which is a thick junction between the handle and the blade, providing strength and balance. The origins of the knife's name are uncertain, but it is thought to be connected to the French military corps known as the Zuavi, as the distinctive shape of the blade has its roots in France.

The artist
Founded in 1895, Coltellerie Berti is a fourth-generation family-owned business, well known for its handcrafted knives' unparalleled quality. At the heart of the company lies the deeply held belief that only methods rooted in and proven effective by tradition can deliver the best results.
The company is located in Scarperia, a charming little village perched on a Tuscan hill north of Florence.
Scarperia has been home to the knife-making industry for more than 600 years. The origin of the ancient, illustrious tradition of iron-working and blade making is lost in the mists of time. Still, the magic of the simple, essential gestures that forge perfect blades and change them into legendary knives is intact, handed down from one generation to the next.
