Knife review: Sardinian Pattada and Sicilian Sfilato: classic Italian elegance

Classic Italian regional knives are wonderfully elegant - a must for the knife collector. In this clip we have a look at the characteristic Pattada knife from the island Sardinia, and the slender Sfilato design from the island Sicily (mine was made by the dependable company Lion Steel in the cutlery town Maniago in mainland Italy).

So did the Sfilato have a lock or not?

[MrDagon007]

@arhvash No it is a slipjoint knife, like a swiss army knife.

@MrDagon007 That sucks, a beautiful knife though. Can you find one of these with a lock?

[MrDagon007]

@arhvash For the kind of use that this knife would normally get, a lock isn't that important, in my opinion.

[arhvash]

@MrDagon007 You just said everything and nothing..

[MrDagon007]

@arhvash I meant, it is not designed for heavy duty or self defense - for which a lock is important. It is rather for lighter cutting work or food prep. For that kind of use, a lock is in my opinion not that important. Think about a swiss army knife, for its typical use a lock isn't that important either.

@keeperofblades Yes, I bought it in Gembloux. There was a table with some 15-20 Pattada variants. Cheers !

Nice review! Thanks!

You bought the smaller pattada in Gebloux? I can't imagine other knifeshows in Belgium.

Keep up the good work!
