Birritedda Historic Knife
The historical Biritedda knife, has a brushed steel blade with a very unusual shape; the straight edge ends abruptly with a very thin and sharp point; when opened, it butts against a rivet fitted on the back of the handle and there is no spring. The one-piece handle is made with fine buffalo horn and embellished with brass trim or a dog's head motif.
The Sicilian nobleman's knife
This is a typical Sicilian knife, which probably originated in the Canicattì area. It owes its name to the shape of the blade, which is rounded on the rib at its highest point and resembles the shape of a cap, or Birritedda in Sicilian. This ancient knife was already in use in the Agrigento area as early as the early 1800s and was used by the wealthiest families to peel artichokes, thus avoiding being pricked with the tips of the leaves.Varianti disponibili:
