A story of material.
Since 2011, Couteaux Corses has been selecting artisanal knives made in Corsica. Identified creators, individually photographed items, and detailed characteristics to choose while understanding.
The detail makes the difference.
Two knives can share a model name while presenting differences in shape, dimensions, and material. Since 2011, Corsican Knives highlights handcrafted pieces made in Corsica, with an identified creator. The photography and descriptive sheet allow for examining the actual knife offered rather than a simple model image.
To understand a piece, gather multiple pieces of information: the steel of the blade, the material of the handle, the dimensions and the indicated assembly. The ram's horn and carbon damask of the creations by Manu Padovani illustrated on this page are precise characteristics of these knives. They should not be extended to the entire selection of the brand.
The Know-How of Manu Padovani
Manu Padovani is a historic partner of Corsican Knives, officially distributing his creations. The three knives photographed here combine a carbon damask blade with a ram horn handle, ram sanguine or blonde ram. This gallery allows you to compare their shapes and materials. Each link opens the sheet of the presented piece; its status and complete characteristics remain to be consulted on the official site.

Advice for understanding
The site covers steels, handles, fittings, and maintenance to accompany the discovery of the Corsican knife.
Authenticity and follow-up
Information on the certificate of authenticity and warranty conditions is detailed by Couteaux Corses.
The models signed Couteaux Corses
The brand also develops its own models. U PAISANU and U SIMPLICE are presented as the first expressions of this approach: knives designed and signed by the brand, made in Corsica. Their presentation and announcements of availability can be found on the official website.
Take the time to get to know your knife.
To extend the discovery, the Couteaux Corses website brings together presentations of artisans, item sheets, and pages of advice on choosing and maintaining. Before making a decision, check the dimensions, assembly, and materials of the knife in question. For a question about a photographed item, provide its reference or the link to its sheet on the brand's website.
