Cretan Knives

Traditional Cretan knives have always been a big part of the Cretan culture and are considered exceptionally unique souvenirs to take back home with you.
The Cretan knife, much like the Cretan sariki, was the inseparable companion of every Cretan for centuries. As well as gracing their person in daily life on the island, it accompanied the men of Crete wherever they went, either as travelers or as immigrants, but also as soldiers to proudly defend their island and the lands and peoples of Greece .
Cretan knives have great sentimental value, both for the owner and as a matter of family pride when it comes to ancestral Cretan daggers. They are considered symbols of Cretan gallantry and honor, and represent the spirit of freedom and Crete's resistance against any conqueror.
