At Coltellerie Paolucci every single stage of the production process is carried out with care, and excellence is achieved through the perfect balance of skill, expertise and experience. A company made of outstanding people who work with passion and extreme attention to detail, offering a service and a product of quality because they are designed for people: designed for others as if they were for oneself.

Coltellerie Paolucci is a great company because it was born from a great family, from a millenary tradition in the town with roots of steel, Frosolone. Founded in 1972 by Felice, Liberato and Saverio, who followed in the footsteps of their father and grandfather, it continued the path traced by craftsmen since the Middle Ages, specialising in the working of cutting tools.

One of the most representative productions of Made in Italy excellence: the artisan manufacture of tools reaches a unique quality in this small town in the Molise hinterland. An artistic craft, representing a millenary culture and the skill of master scissors-makers and cutlers, which Coltellerie Paolucci has been able to preserve over time, always faithful to tradition, to its roots and to Italian artisan excellence.

It is said that barbers only needed to open and close the scissors near their ear to recognise, from the sound of the steel, that it was a Paolucci product.

Today Coltellerie Paolucci, well established internationally, continues to guarantee punctuality and passion, respecting the character of a production that is always focused on quality at every stage of the work. A result that can only be achieved through specific production steps, once called by dialect names that marked the process perfectly. Craftsmen specialised in one stage even acquired a nickname linked to their trade.

The quality and lasting reliability of these precious tools come from the care given to every stage of the work. For example, the two essential parts of the knife, blade and handle, receive the same attention from the craftsman.

The value of the handle comes from the choice of high-quality materials and from artisan knowledge in treating them: excellence is achieved by combining elegance and functionality, suggesting a natural grip.

The blade, to keep its characteristics over time, must be the result of a perfect alloy: steel, chromium, nickel and vanadium are combined to guarantee strength and hardness. Sharpening, carried out on large wheels, was once done with pedal grindstones or with the so-called “pescara”, powered by water.

Even today the production process respects traditional techniques and quality materials. The company’s ongoing research has made it possible to broaden the range and increase productivity, while keeping intact the quality standards that make Coltellerie Paolucci an excellence of Italian manufacturing.

For Paolucci, technological innovation is only a tool to keep doing, always at its best, what has been handed down for generations.
