Attilio “Atti” Morotti, born in Bergamo in 1957, is a highly regarded craftsman and knife maker. His passion for craftsmanship began with his work in a mechanical workshop and led him to create his own brand of knives, Atti Knives. In addition to being an artisan, Morotti is also an avid motorcyclist who has traveled many of the roads of Italy and Europe. His interest in knives began when he visited a knife-making exhibition, where he was fascinated by the mastery and quality of the work on display. This experience inspired him to create his first fixed blade knife in 2002. Despite his lack of formal training, through determination and a love of craftsmanship, Morotti was able to create knives of recognized quality. His skills earned him the title of “Master of the Italian Knife Guild” in 2007. Atti Knives are true works of applied art. Morotti starts with simple sketches, which are then refined with the utmost attention to detail. He uses a variety of materials, such as stainless steel, damascus steel, mother-of-pearl, mammoth fossils and stabilized wood. Each piece is unique, ensuring a truly artisanal design
M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
W-Lock - innovative wedge locking system. The two-way lock secures the blade in the open position. The knife is locked by moving the backspacer backwards, which eliminates accidental unlocking of the blade.
Blade - sheepfoot type with full flat grind (Full Flat Grind), finished with an elegant satin finish. Ball bearing ceramic supports the smooth opening of the blade, which can be opened by means of a hole in the wedge (thumb hole). As a result, it can be easily used by right- and left-handed people. The whole thing is locked with an innovative W-Lock.
Handle - grips made of G10 composite, a practically indestructible material that is insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The backspacer is part of the W-Lock locking system. The decorative pivot contrasts beautifully with the color of the grips. The fore finger groove, made on the front, improves grip security, creating a guard that prevents the hand from slipping on the blade.
Additional accessories - a sheath for the knife made of high-quality leather.
