The first reliable information we have about this knife dates back to 1848.An example, dated 1871, is kept in the State Archives of Florence, attached to the documents of a trial against a criminal. The trademark of a Scarperia manufacturer, Gustavo Buffi, is clearly visible on it. The blade has a curved back which is also maintained in the Twentieth century version and is present in the catalogues of various Scarperia companies. A hunting knife also supplied with extractors for cartridges and presented, especially in the past, in various forms. In Scarperia, the most common version, already in use at the beginning of the Eighteenth century, has a wide blade and is probably derived from older models. Equipped with a spring, with a handle in metal structure, it is particularly strong and appreciated for purposes other than hunting. Regional knives follow the noblest Italian knife tradition, a tradition that Consigli adopted as its own many-year ago, due to the fact that from time immemorial, in Scarperia, Tuscan knives were produced alongside knives linked to the usages and customs of numerous Italian regions. What has always made Consigli stand out from others, however, is their attention to detail, the fact that they have kept a production process that is still manual and faithful to the production canons of tradition, the selection of the best raw materials and, above all, the passion for a craft that has almost disappeared, leaving it up to just a few companies to keep intact a precious patrimony like the land from which it comes. This is why the knives produced by the Scarperia company are unanimously recognized as products of the highest quality.
