Tre Pianelle

Nôž Tre Pianelle získala svoj názov zo štýlu čepele, ktorý ma tri fazety: dva naklonené bočné panely a stredový panel.  Tento nôž má dlhú históriu. v skutočnosti troj panelová čepeľ bola vynájdená v rímskom a sicílskom modeli z pred 19. storočia a v iných loveckých nožoch. Majú neuveriteľne ostré línie, ktorý boli viac vhodné na sebaobranu alebo útok, skôr ako na krájanie. Táto krvilačná strana noža bola však našťastie zabudnutá po tom ako sa z neho stal nôž zo Scarperie a Toskánsko nebolo sužované sériou bodnutí, ktoré boli v tomto storočí časté aj v iných oblastiach.  Tento nôž spomedzi všetkých nožov zo Scarperie je zvláštny tým, že nemá dobré rezacie vlastnosti ako sme zvyknutý pri iných. Tre Pianelle je sponový nôž, čepeľ je ostrá iba na vnútornej strane, ktorá prirodzene spadá do rukoväte, zatiaľ čo vonkajšia strana nie je ostrá vôbec. Rovanko ako u všetkých ostatných nožov päta čepele nesie charakteristický kríž sv. Andreja. Rukoväť je veľmi štíhla a končí kovovými objímkami, ktoré sú podobné ako u noža Fiorentino.

The Tre Pianelle knife gets its name from its style of blade which features three facets: two slanted side panels and a central panel. This knife has a long history; in fact, the three panelled blade was found in Roman and Sicilian models from periods before the nineteenth century and in other hunting knives. They had incredibly sharp lines that were more suitable for self-defence or attack rather than just cutting. However, this bloodthirsty side to the knife’s history was left behind when it became a Scarperia knife and fortunately Tuscany was not plagued by the series of stabbings that had been very common in other regions in previous centuries. In fact, this type of knife is rare among Scarperia knives because its specific features do not provide the very best cutting ability which is usually found in our knives.
As the Tre Pianelle is a clasp knife, the blade is only sharp on the inner side which folds into the handle, while the side along the spine is not sharpened. As with all our knives, the heel of the blade features our characteristic cross of St Andrew. The handle is very slender and ends with the metal ferrules that are similar to the ones on the Fiorentino knife.
