The Gobbo Italian Regional Knife by Berti has a straight blade and curved handle. "Gobbo" means hunchback which gives this knife its name due to the handle shape. This regional knife comes from the Abruzzo region in central Italy, and was typically used by farmers or field workers.
Regional knives are pocket knives that have a distinct style based on what region the knife comes from. There are 20 regions in Italy, and each region produces a different knife style.
Berti knives are handmade in Italy by skilled artisans with the technique used since 1895. The knives are forged out of stainless steel and are made with the highest craftsmanship. Berti artisans create knives with the integrity and authenticity that cannot result from mass production. The same craftsman that begins a knife takes it all the way through to completion.
