A story that has deep roots

CORICAMA is the result of a centuries-old history. Our roots are linked to the place where we live, Maniago: a town that stands out with great success in the international panorama for its blacksmith art endowments. Since 1380 blacksmiths of our territory produced swords, halberds and armours for the Maritime Republic of Venice, along with tools for agriculture and crafts of that time. 

Here, in 1873, the first major knives and cutting tools’ factory of Maniago was born – CO.RI.CA.MA.: Coltellerie Riunite (united knives’ factories) of Caslino and Maniago – known in the whole town as “The Plant”. In the plant multiple generations of specialized workers were trained and became male and female craftsmen that since then – thanks to their professionality – have been producing knives, scissors, forceps, blades, surgical instruments and other steel tools for arts and crafts. 

Nowadays the old CO.RI.CA.MA. plant, owned and restored by the Municipality of Maniago, hosts the “Museum of blacksmiths’ art and cutlery works” – an extraordinary exhibition of the typical products of Maniago – and draws tourists and visitors from around the world. We are very proud to be able to link our origins to a history that is deep-rooted in the community we belong to.
