The story of the model

Embers, roasts: Leppa.

The Leppa ’e Chintu was the knife that completed the traditional dress: the “sword” once hung from the belt of the Sardinian costume.
The Giagu maison has brought it back in a shorter version, suited to the particular uses of the modern kitchen.

A fixed blade of 22 cm with a shape ideal for carving meat. The handle is contoured along the old forms that recreate the head of a bird of prey.
A knife at once balanced, functional and theatrical — at times requested even without an edge, as a “sabre” for fine bottles.

From the Sardinian costume to the braziers of the world.

Common questions

About this piece

How is a Giagu Leppa Brazier commissioned?
Every Leppa Brazier begins with a conversation. You write to the Giagu workshop describing the materials, the dimensions and the occasion, and the maison guides you through the configurations available. Lead time is six to twelve months from confirmation. Every finished piece comes with a paper certificate signed by the family.
Is the Leppa Brazier a numbered piece?
Every Giagu Leppa Brazier is engraved with the mouflon mark and the words GIAGU PATTADA. Each order carries its own number, identifying it in the maison's internal archive from 1985 onward. The mark, for its part, stays with the piece forever.
What is the warranty on the Leppa Brazier?
Every Giagu Leppa Brazier is guaranteed for ten years from the date of delivery. Sharpening is free for the lifetime of the knife, at the Pattada workshop or by post.
