GATHER AROUND STUDENTS AS WE LEARN A LITTLE ABOUT THIS VERY OLD PIECE.

The Corsican knife is a traditional folding knife that originated in Corsica, France. It is also known as the Corsican Vendetta Knife or Curnicciulu in Corsican. The knife is a symbol of Corsican culture and is often used in traditional Corsican ceremonies.

The Corsican knife has a long history dating back to the 18th century. It was originally used as a tool for shepherds and farmers, but it later became a weapon of choice for Corsican nationalists during the 19th century. The knife was used in many vendettas, which were a form of blood feud between families or clans.

The Corsican knife is characterized by its distinctive shape and design. It has a curved blade that is typically made of high-quality steel. The handle is made of wood or bone and is often decorated with intricate carvings or engravings. The knife also features a locking mechanism that keeps the blade securely in place when it is open.

This knife has a piece of leather instead of a metal ring to assist in closing the ratchet

blade.It appears to be handled with a type of horn - I am guessing but it is very old

and has been in my put away stash for well over 6 years and when I got it,it was old
