Cursina Juniper carbon

Handmade knife: La Cursina in Juniper with black blade

This Corsican folding knife is handmade in our workshops in Bonifacio. The Cursina, inspired by old knives, is part of the Collection of knives imagined and designed by the Zuria brothers, Antoine and Camille, Cutlers in Bonifacio.

Cursina usually measure 20 cm in total, which is perfectly suited for classic men's hands. Models measuring 18 cm in total are rather recommended for small hands, especially those of women.

They are available with different handles: in wood, horn or bone, and blades in stainless steel, carbon or Damascus for the most beautiful and different closing systems.

This model has a juniper wood handle, a black carbon blade and a closing system called "2 nails". Delivered with a leather box.

It is available in 2 sizes:

- 18 cm open and 11 cm closed, weight approximately 50 g
- 20 cm open and 12 cm closed, weight approximately 90 g

In the past, this Corsican shepherd's or peasant's knife, called "La Cursina" was considered more of a tool than a pocket knife. Its particularity is due to the shape of its blade with a very rounded back, varying from one region or from one blacksmith to another and comprising a tarabiscot (tool for making moldings in wood). This rustic knife, once forgotten, is now sought after by hunters who use it to skin and carve wild boar.

Attention: This is a handmade knife with natural materials, so each piece is unique.
