Maserin Coltellerie has been producing knives since 1960 in Maniago Italy, a city that is known as the city of knives. Our father Fervido founded the company. He was born in 1934 and started working at the age of 14 as a worker in a factory that produced knives, scissors and tools for agriculture. At that time there was no time for fun only for work, fom the morning till night all week long and Saturdays as well. Fervido also had to work in the fields to help his parents. Following military service, he started his small classic spring knives. From then on orders poured in and he had his first workers and the product line grew. In 1985 our father built a 3,000 square meter factory which we are still using today.

We are also pround of the fact that Maserin Coltellerie was the first company in Italy to start a corporation with Italian knife makers.

All of the Maerin family work and contribute to our family company. Our mom, Olga, also worked in the company. From our earliest beginnings, weve been able to expand our products and the quality of our knives. We want our current and future buyers to recognize our brand as one which produces a very high quality line of superior knives. We have also NATO CAGE AJ988 and UNI ISO 9001 certification. We have our own designs and produce customized products for private label and corporate logos.
