Housed in the medieval Palazzo dei Vicari in Scarperia the museum preserves the knife manufacturing’s old tradition. 

It is divided into two sections: one focuses on the history of knives and their uses, and the different types produced down the ages, while the other is a workshop, where the various phases of the craftsman’s production of knives can be observed.
