The Beretta Pietro Folding Knife, model CO09-1-9, blends old-world craftsmanship with everyday practicality. Proudly made in Italy, this traditional pocket knife is part of Beretta’s Coltello series, designed to honor the timeless tools that generations have relied on. With its compact, slip-joint construction and dual-blade configuration, the Pietro is well-suited for daily cutting tasks and quick utility work.
The knife features two 2.6-inch pen-style blades made from 420 stainless steel, offering reliable corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. These plain-edge blades are slim and precise—ideal for slicing, sharpening pencils, opening packages, and other everyday tasks where finesse matters. Both blades are housed in a slip-joint mechanism, providing a smooth, spring-based opening and closing action that’s fully ambidextrous and requires no locking components. That makes it easy to carry legally in most places and simple to use with either hand.
The handle is made of solid copper-coated steel, finished in a warm, aged tone that develops character over time. Light embossing gives it a distinctive look while offering subtle texture for grip. The Pietro's handle not only looks refined but also feels solid in hand, giving this knife a sense of durability and balance that stands out in the world of modern folders.
When open, the knife measures 6.10 inches in length; when closed, it slips easily into a pocket at just 3.5 inches long. Weighing only 1.8 ounces, it carries effortlessly all day, whether in jeans, a jacket pocket, or a small pouch. Though compact, it’s thoughtfully built to handle the small, frequent jobs that pop up every day. As part of the Coltello series, the Pietro model reflects Beretta’s dedication to quality and tradition, backed by decades of knife-making expertise.
For those who appreciate classic style, minimal mechanics, and Italian-made reliability, the Beretta Pietro Folding Knife is a refined companion for daily use. Check out this series at SMKW!
