Castellari Products Catalogue

“Il Coltellino”, a historic shop for the retail and sharpening of cutting tools, was opened in 1976, followed in 1981 by the creation of “LI”, short for “Lame Intercambiabili” (“Interchangeable Blades”). The designs materialised and the first shears with two interchangeable blades were developed. TUCANO, the first shape branch cutter, was created in 1985 and the first of our two production sites, still operating today, was inaugurated a year later. Following a series of improvements to the Tucano (e.g. forged aluminium counter-blade) and the creation of new tools, in 1991 the company came up with a new cutting concept: T.I., with a hollow in the blade for easier cutting than with a conventional blade. The turning point for Castellari came in 1996, when the first UNIVERSALE curved shape shears were.
