The story of the model

The ancient form of the Sardinian knife.

Alongside the Resolza, already in the 1800s, the north of Sardinia used a wider blade, “bay-leaf” in shape: the knife the Sardinian shepherd carried at his side, above all for the hunt. The Giagu Antico Lama Fissa is our reinterpretation of that form, with the rigour of the maison and the materials of tradition.

An ergonomic grip and a broad, robust profile, fully customisable in both handle and blade. Ram or mouflon horn, fossil ivory, fine woods, paired with stainless, carbon or Damascus steels.

One of the recurring choices is to have guard and tang in different, contrasting materials — an aesthetic solution the workshop has used since 1985.

It is the knife for those who seek a collector’s piece, inspired by the past.
