When "una feta" (one slice) in a Tuscan Picnic isn't eneough...you reach for your knife and cut some picnic foods. Who can tell me where I can buy a decent pocket knife in Venice so we can be ready for our Tuscan picnics before we arrive in Tuscano. Thanking you in advance,

I always head to a hardware store and buy a knife to use on my trip.
Then I toss it before returning home.
Inexpensive kitchen knives are usually only 1 or 2 euros.
Thanks for your input. Are there any hardware stores near the train station or Rialto Bridge area or any area you know of in Venice?
I love this thread already.
Ratti at Castello 5824, in business since the 1880s.
"Feta" is a Greek cheese. You don't need a good knife to cut feta. It's a soft cheese.
Slice requires 2 "T":
FETTA
Thanks, everyone for all of the help. We'll purchase the kitchen knife @ Ratti@Castello 5824 and be able to slice the "una fetta or due fetta" when we find a tree lined picnic area somewhere in the hills of Tuscany.
Thanks, again.

They also sell boots for acqua alta.
Un etto di feta fa tre o quattro fette. Say it three times, fast!
Assuming that you are carrying-on since you could probably pack a butter knife in your checked luggage.
If memory serves, there are so many knickknack shops along the tourist road in Venice that you will probably be able to find one walking along and window shopping. I have also in the past borrowed one from our hotelier (after breakfast asked if I could keep the knife for the day). When I attempted to give it back at the end of the day, they let me keep it for the rest of the trip, so I guess you could try that as well. I found that a butter knife was plenty sharp to get the job done, and less stabby in my day bag.
