Strong as an ox.
The gorgeous rounded horn handles on this carving knife and two-tined fork duo give off that Old-World air. Actually, both fork and knife were handmade there, by artisans in a 120-year old workshop in the Tuscan countryside, each utensil marked with the initials of their creator. Carving up a roast chicken has never felt classier.

Meet the Maker
Berti
Italy
The story behind Berti’s heirloom-worthy knives is as enchanting as it gets: It all started back in 1895, when David Berti opened up shop in the Tuscan countryside. Well over a century later, his great-grandson Andrea keeps the family tradition going, using the very same materials as years ago (read: ox horn, boxwood, and steel). The best bit? Every knife is completely handmade by a single artisan, and finished off with the maker’s initials on the blade—wow.
