Lion Steel Knives

Maniago, located in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of the Provinces of Porderone in north eastern Italy, is an area known for its production of steel blades and boasts home to knife manufacturers such as Lion Steel.
Lion Steel was founded in 1969 by Gino Pauletta, a family business that has continued to grow under the operation of his 3 sons since the late 1990's. The company's name is derived from the combination of a stone sculpture representing a lion, carved by Gino's grandfather, and steel which is the fundamental component of a knife.
Lion Steel knives are made in the long standing Maniago tradition. They have combined traditional Italian design elements and production techniques with modern methods to produce beautifully crafted knives from the heart of Italian knife making country.
