Fabbriche Riunite Falci Dronero Catalog ca.~1900

February 9, 2018 FortyTwoBlades 2 Comments

A lovely vintage catalog by the organization that would later become Falci Tools of Italy. Falci themselves consulted with the oldest still-living man who worked for them and based on some of the patterns named after towns, which are now mere villages, and concluded that this catalog dates from the very early 1900’s. 

A collection of writings on edged tools from the folks at Baryonyx Knife Co.
