The Perfect Union
Every year in the coldest weeks of the winter season, strange sculptures begin to appear in the fields all over the island. It is the moment for grafting.
Wild olive trees grow throughout the island and they produce perfectly tiny olives with a thin and bitter skin. However, though the oil from wild olives is supposedly superior to that of domesticated varieties, the yield is much, much lower. And so the grafting game begins.

Sergio Frongia
After a lifetime of working as an electrician, Sergio Frongia discovered his passion for knife-making. His workshop is a dusty and colorful place, filled with machines he has built himself from various spare parts in order to have exactly the outcome he is looking for. He is relentless in his study, constantly reinventing and perfecting details as he makes each knife. He is perceptive, inventive and precise - the exact definition of an artisan expertly practicing his craft.
