History
The Coltellerie Marcello Beltrame was established by Marcello Beltrame in 1953, separating from an expanded family-owned knife manufacturer that operated since 1885. The Due Ancore brand originated in the family in 1912 and was owned by the new company which started producing cutlery with this brand.
The cutlery production of the family traces origins back to the local tradition of knife making in Maniago, generated in the 15th century under the control of the Venetian Republic, which acquired most of its knives and swords in the town of Maniago.[1]
The production of the new company specialized in professional cutlery for chefs and butchers, in addition to traditional items for the construction and farming sectors. The plant was innovated purchasing new machinery and building a new production site in 1978, still to present its headquarter.
Since 2009 the Due Ancore brand aims to expand its client range adding a new production of luxury knives and accessories to the traditional professional cutlery line.
