Italian Knife Master of Knife and Tradition

I am Danilo Rossi Lajolo di Cossano, Turin-born, descendant of the noble Lajolo family and master of arms of international fame, the only guardian of the traditional Italian heritage.

From an early age I embarked on an exciting journey into the world of martial arts and blades under the guidance of Count Clemente Lajolo, my uncle.

I dedicated myself to fencing and to the study of Italian martial arts and regional traditions.

The research, started in 1997, led me to travel to the regions of Italy, learning from the masters of the ancient schools of knife and traditional weapons.

I founded the World Calix Academy and devised the Lajolo Knife System, a knife fighting method, intended for professionals and civilians.

“The case is linked by invisible threads, so my research starts, a search in the Italian tradition of the knife and its meaning within a social substrate, unknown”

Released in 2014, it is the first book on the history of the traditional Italian Lama, which passes from the personal experience and as a field researcher of master Danilo Lajolo.
