Lelle Floris is a Sardinian craftsman born in Ghilarza. He belongs to the third generation of a family of knife makers and gunsmiths who are very well known in Sardinia. He began to build knives of various types from an early age with preference for stilettos, switchblades and ancient historical types, both Italian and Spanish from different periods of the last two centuries.
The creation of these knives in particular is the result of a careful study of the originals and their size, materials, weight as well as their construction techniques.
All processes faithfully reflect what was done by the skilled craftsmen of that time.
He obviously chooses carbon steel for the blade in order to have the distinctive patina of antiquity that it forms over the years.
For the handles only natural materials are used, such as bone, horns, ivory and wood.
The use of machines is limited exclusively to a bench drill and to very few others, the rest is done entirely by hand with simple tools.
Each creation is therefore unique and unrepeatable. His knives are appreciated by collectors around the world, especially from the United States, Russia, Germany and Austria
I am a passionate collector of artistic Sardinian handcrafts, in particular Sardinian knives as seen on my website. I deal exclusive objects by artisanal masters. It is rare that I will sell “cheap tourist souvenirs” at low prices which have no genuine value or commercial quality.
These artisan masters are committed and dedicated over the years to preserve the integrity and workmanship of these works of art, their called (manos de oro- hands of gold) their detail and stupendous handcrafts are held to the highest standard of quality.
Their expression in their workmanship also extends to other positive productions such as literature, poems and music, the true popular art, their sense of loyalty and honour continues in all their aspects of artisanal work with tenacity and utmost respect.
