Just wondering if anybody has used this knife before:

I don't know why but I find something mesmerising about tools that have completely shunned the idea of aesthetics.
In my mind, there is something so satisfying about pure function, to the point that it makes it rather beautiful. Do you know what I mean?
This Italian leather knife is literally just a piece of brass tube that has been crushed at one end, with some kind of screw locking mechanism. You know the scratch awl at the top is a damn nail too.
I like craft knives with parallel sides so that you can always orientate the blade quickly. Which is why I don't use craft knives with completely rounded handles.
If this knife looks familiar, there are many Italian workshops that use this in their pattern cutting stages.
You'll have to forgive this example, the film was done with a MkII potato camera and toaster lens:
And the great thing is, I just noticed that you can use snap off blades with it! 😁:

Check this Maestro's cutting skills and how he walks his fingers with the pattern! He barely lifts up:

Thank you in advance!
