Mercury Knives
Mercury Knives was founded in 1950 by Attilio Del Ben. Since childhood, Attilio had shown a particular
interest in the construction of hand made objects.
ln 1946, at the end of completing four long difficult years in the Italian army, Attilio embarked on his dream
of making Italian knives as a profession. His mission and Mercury's major aim became the production of
specialized pocket knives and multipurpose penknives. This branch of production is still Mercury's main
activity.
The quality of the hand finish on these knives is the distinguishing characteristic of the high standard of
Mercury knives. This is as important today as it was in the past. Several years later, Attilio introduced his
sons to the business to guarantee the continued tradition of Mercury.
