At the foot of the Alps in the Piedmont region of Italy, a small manufacturer is making metallurgical history. Sandrin is making knives out of solid tungsten carbide, one of the hardest materials on earth. It’s a feat of knife making that’s never been seen before, and by realizing it Sandrin may be fabricating the […]
