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.
