We do too, for so long.
It has been used on many book pages and letters, and still is perfect. It is indeed great, as he was great. Few have imbued essential minimalism with the special spirit (life) that Mari did, constantly.
Mari designed 3 knives/openers for Danese, all based on using a single length of shaped steel, then bent/folded or curved.
The first, "Benbecula", he designed in 1961.
The "Ameland" is from 1962.
Then he designed the "Giglio" in 1985 (re-issue 2019).
Of the three, I prefer the "Amelend".
