Heritage & History
The Bianco family's cutlery trade began in 1972, when John Bianco purchased a small knife-sharpening service in Brooklyn, New York, from a craftsman who had trained under a German-owned sharpening firm. John's son, Dominic Bianco, learned the trade from his father and his father's colleagues from childhood, eventually earning five patents and taking over the family business in 1992.
In 2017, Dominic Bianco relocated the operation to Catharpin, Virginia, continuing to design and manufacture cutlery and precision instruments under his own company, Bianco Instruments, LLC — a lineage that now includes the handmade 'Cucina Napoli' kitchen knife line alongside podiatry, nail-tech, surgical, and grooming instruments.
Made in Catharpin, Virginia
Bianco Instruments designs and manufactures its cutlery, including its Cucina Napoli kitchen knives, by hand at its facility in Catharpin, Virginia, continuing techniques passed down through three generations of the Bianco family's knife and instrument trade.
The company markets itself under the banner 'Handmade in the USA' across its kitchen cutlery, custom hunting knives, and professional grooming and medical instrument lines, all produced at the same Virginia facility.
