Cutlery dedication

A project which has been developing and progressing, thanks to the dynamism and know-how of our personnel and their pursuit for continuous renewal, always on hand for the cutlery industry. Intended particularly for the manufacture of wooden grips, in particular knife handles and blades of campaña pocket knife veneers and those of girodias.
