The Knife-maker’s workshop
 An appendix to the Knife Museum, this is a sort of living museum where the various phases of the craftsman’s production of knives can be observed thanks to local craftsmen who work on the assembly counter, in a workshop that has not changed all that much since the Forties. Involvement of the visitor is total: the forge, work counter and anvil are still there to testify to the knife-maker’s craft, helped in the less heavy work by child-workers and by the “giratora» the woman who turned the grindstone for grinding the knives.
