Coltellerie Berti has a long history of steel, fire, and skilled hands.  Using techniques unchanged since the days of its founding in 1895, the Italian artisans at Berti handcraft their knives. A sole artisan crafts each Berti knife from start to finish and initials their work. The Italian artisans at Coltellerie Berti hand make their knives using techniques that are unchanged since 1895. Berti artisans are committed to making knives with the integrity and authenticity that cannot result from industrialized production. The artisan that starts making a knife takes it right through to the finishing touches.
