The handcrafted Corsican knife and its history through ages.

Originally, the Corsican knife is a robust knife with no real line. Indeed, each knifemaker has its "matte" and its way of doing things. Hence the idea that it does not excite A Corsican knife but Corsican knives... The only common features of these Corsican knives are that they are designed to last and serve every day.Corse being an agro-pastoral region, each and every one has to have in his pocket or his musette, a knife that will serve as a tool and cover for the crust.

The current Corsican knife comes from the know-how and island traditions of cutlery. Many knifemakers continue the tradition on the island. However, we have to be very careful about the counterfeit or the "Corse knife for tourists" which in the best case is pre-cut in the form of a kit in Europe and in the worst case we reach from China or Pakistan and has mounted (and at best adjusted by hand) on the coninent or on the island to innove souvenir shops and island tobacco offices.

The Vendetta is not at its origin a Corsican knife but rather from southern Italy (Naples) see Malta according to the oldest traces found.Vendetta being a word of Italian origin meaning "vengeance" (private justice), especially during the war between two families, we will lean more for the southern Italian version.
