Buongiorno Antonio! Due video molte interassante! Sorry, that's about the limit of my Italiano, haven't used it in years...

That anvil of yours looks real good -- both aesthetically and funtionally. It certainly has quite a ring to it!

Your completed knives look excellent. May I ask what the 'typical Sicillian' knives were designed for? They look a little unusual in being either short and stocky like a chipping knife, or long and thin.

Hello, thank you for the compliments ... Sicilian knives were designed for many uses ... there are knives from work and knives duel and then those longer and thinner ... knife each has its own name and its characteristics ...
