MASERIN Belum fixed blade with decorative box

Some knives are made to cut. The MASERIN Belum fixed blade is made to remember. Created to mark the 50th anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Maserin — known as “Belu”, Alpine soldier of the 4th Regiment, Battalion Cadore, decorated at Vittorio Veneto — this is a collectible knife with a story behind every detail. The name BeLUM combines his nickname with the M of the Maserin surname. The shapes reference the knives produced at the historic CO.RI.CA.MA factory in Maniago, identifiable by the CM marking on the blade.

N690 steel, Paosantos, and a 3D-printed knob

The blade is N690 stainless steel with a satin finish — a high-performance steel chosen for its corrosion resistance and edge retention, at 202 mm length and 5 mm thickness. The handle is Paosantos, a dense tropical hardwood with a fine grain and warm tone that ages well in the hand. The guard is AISI 420 steel, and the knob is 3D printed in AISI 316 steel — a manufacturing detail that reflects Maserin’s willingness to use contemporary methods in service of a traditional form. The knife comes with a leather sheath and a decorative box.

Why MASERIN

Coltellerie Maserin has been making knives in Maniago, Italy since 1960 — in the same town where this knife’s story begins. The Belum is not a production piece. It is a limited collectible made by a family business to honour their own history, using the same craft standards that define their professional range. That provenance is not something that can be replicated.
