The heritage of their location in the Maniago area near Pordenone, in northeast Italy, an area with a history of making knives, blades, and other cutting tools since Medieval times provides centuries of experience and skill.

Their present range of products are "working" tools, which consists mostly of folding pocket knives for agriculture, boating/fishing, and electrical/telephone/cable industrial workers and home hobbyists. Also in their range are traditional pocket knives of Italy. They are also the original designers and producers of the "bullet" and "cartridge" knives, combining novelty with quality and usefulness. Their most recent expansion has been in a range of knives specifically designed for use in emergency and rescue operations, which have been very warmly received by Police, Fire, and rescue crews worldwide.

Coltellerie snl combines centuries of tradition and experience in metallurgy and knife-making with cutting edge technology and design, and they guarantee the quality of the materials and workmanship that goes into every knife they make.
