    I feel like most of this can be flexible, especially origin or if you want to emphasize something.

    You could have a little Italian green knife. Or a copper French knife.

      That immediately sounds like ‘green knife’ and ‘French knife’ are some special kinds of knives, not just what they look like and where they’re from.

      The category order is generally more rigid toward the right half of the adjective list. So you could have an old thin bread knife or a thin old bread knife, but not an old bread thin knife.
