Michele Sferragatta
"My Name is Michele SFERRAGATTA, My Job is In the Italian Army Aviation as Helicopter Pilot with a Rank of Lt.Col. but my real Passion are Blades. When I was Young, only as a passionate collectionist, I have always loved Regional Craftsman’s made Knifes. Long Time ago I went for Work in the Italian Island called “Sardinia”. There I start loving three things: The Local Poetry, my beloved Wife Rita and the Charm of the Sardinian Traditional Knives. I lived twenty Years over there and I Can assure you that for any passionate for Blades and Cutting metals it’s a real Paradise. Every town or village has more then one local Craftsman. For long time I have closely observed their wonderful work and I was really fascinated. One day I went to the Shop of Antonio MURGIA in Villacidro to buy a Knife. He saw my sincere appreciation of his work and propose me to Forge together my new Blade. Since then he became my Master and I never stop making Knives. So my passion became the true happiness in making wonderful Sardinian styles knives. I always follow the rules of the ancient tradition of the local Craftsman but I will also follow the perfection in new stiles and solutions in the constant search of perfection and beauty. I constantly miss the wonder of Sardinia, The smell of the sea and the freshness of the Mediterranean bush at the sunrise. From that Island I took away my wonderful Wife that always support me in breeding my passion and the poetry of the most wonderful knife of the world, Sardinian knife. |
