Italian stiletto in birch burl wood by Lelle Floris
www.sardinianknives.com
Lelle Floris is a Sardinian craftsman born in Ghilarza. He belongs to the third generation of a family of knife makers and gunsmiths who are very well known in Sardinia. He began to build knives of various types from an early age with preference for stilettos, switchblades and ancient historical types, both Italian and Spanish from different periods of the last two centuries. The creation of these knives in particular is the result of a careful study of the originals and their size, materials, weight as well as their construction techniques. All processes faithfully reflect what was done by the skilled craftsmen of that time. He obviously chooses carbon steel for the blade in order to have the distinctive patina of antiquity that it forms over the years. For the handles only natural materials are used, such as bone, horns, ivory and wood. The use of machines is limited exclusively to a bench drill and to very few others, the rest is done entirely by hand with simple tools. Each creation is therefore unique and unrepeatable. His knives are appreciated by collectors around the world, especially from the United States, Russia, Germany and Austria

What relation is Lelle to Antonio Contini? They seem to have the same style of knife making.Sardinian Knives wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 1:27 pm www.sardinianknives.com

boots,
I didn't buy from the cart, but ordered mine instead. That way, you don't have to worry about being fast with the add to cart button. Of course, you don't receive your knife as quickly.

Beautiful stiletto
Is that blood on the tip of the blade? Just kidding.

Re ordering from the site...
DON'T..!
I really like Flores knives and ordered one, months and months went by. After a full year and after emailing yet again, I was told that it wasn't going to happen.
After being 'very' patient - over a year - no joy at all.
