Ancient Knives From Sicily

The most comprehensive photographic book on the antique Sicilian knives

"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."
