The making of a true traditional Corsican knife comes first and foremost by the selection of 100% local and quality natural materials that the cutler artisan will patiently and masterfully transform: the wood, the iron ore, the horn. The wood is cut during the dormant period when it contains less sap. Once it becomes charcoal, it will use to transform iron ore into steel. This steel knife blade shaped will be assembled with a resistant wood with pretty knots or with a beautiful nanny or billy horn.
