Rinaldi "Giustina" Manaresso--Leather Handle Oversized Item (L) they weren't very convenient toThe manaresso is a cleaver like class of Italian tool used for chopping just about anything that needs to be chopped! The Giustina pattern is something like an Italian version of a golok and performs many of the same sorts of chopping and slashing tasks very nicely. The traditional stacked leather handle wicks away sweat from the hands for a secure grip even under extended use. A little and shorter and wider than the Falci version, with distal taper.
