Knife – Maserini – Belum

To remember, in our own way, the 50th anniversary of the death of our great-grandfather Giuseppe Maserin called “Belu” (1885 – 1972), Alpino of the 4th reg. Batt. Cadore and Cav. di Vittorio Veneto, we wanted to create a dagger in the style of the “Arditi,” inspired by those handcrafted daggers made from former Carcano 91 bayonets. Specifically, we were inspired by the shape of the bayonet produced at the CO.RI.CA.MA factory in Maniago, recognizable by the CM marking on the blade.

We named it BeluM by combining “Belu,” our great-grandfather’s nickname, with the M from our logo-surname, also referencing the Latin term “bellum.”

This is a project clearly inspired by history, but made with modern machinery, technologies, and materials.

The wooden box, marked with stencil technique, deliberately recalls the shape of the crates in which war materials were stored.

The BeluM is dedicated to our great-grandfather Giuseppe and to all the heroes who in every way sacrificed their lives for the Fatherland.
