The Rasolino family of knives is a traditional Sicilian style with a curved blade and a truncated tip that falls somewhere between a scimitar style and the mozzetta blade. The Rasolino Tagliasigari is a special design intended for the cigar smoker. The notch in the handle is not only a convenient grip for your fingers, it is actually intended to be used to trim the tip of a cigar. Open the knife, place the end of the cigar in the notch and close the knife. The handle is made with beautiful, black water buffalo horn and the total length is about 7.5 inches.
While dining in Verona at 12 Apostoli, we fell in love with the tableware and had to track it down. It turned out to be hand made by the craftsmen of the Saladini family in Scarperia just north of Florence. Scarperia is an ancient medieval village built by the Florentine Republic in the 14th century. It is known as "the town of knives" and justifiably so, as the art of manufacturing fine knives has been ongoing since the village was first settled. Their knives use the highest quality stainless steel and natural materials such as ox horn, water buffalo horn and Tuscan olive wood for their handles.
