A HISTORY LONG OVER 70 YEARS
Angelo Campolin Sr. born in 1923 in Maniago, Italy perfected his knife making skills before WWII and at that time made his first switchblades.
In 1947 he started making 30 stilettos with the marking “Angelo Campolin” to sell in Venice.
The craze started from there about his handcrafted knives. He introduced new mechanisms and styles of folding knives and in the 1970’s he created the Falcon Knives Company with his son Gianni which is still in business today.
Angelo Jr. started to work in the company at the age of 21. He is as passionate as his grandfather and father are about the art of knife making and a huge collector himself.
In 2002 it was the beginning of A.G.A Campolin ( Angelo-Gianni-Angelo ) a company of three generations of knife making art. The goal has been to offer great quality switchblades using the old methods and traditions which has been a great success.
The company headquarters have moved to Austria with production still in the original Maniago shop, as well as the others in Maniago that produce the knives for A.G.A. Campolin.
