Emmanuel Esposito lives in Buttigliera, Italy. He began
making knives when he was only 14 years old after
growing up in his grandfather's workshop. There he
learned how to work with his hands and the machinery.
Emmanuel has always been interested in mechanisms
and has patented two locking systems himself. Today
he specializes in folding knives, employing his own
pattern of pearl mosaic inlays.
