I like it a lot, too. Button open and close, good size, safety. The only listing I saw showed the blade material as 'steel', which is better than not I guess. Wonder if there will be any U.S. distributors?

Funny, a couple weeks ago I noticed a few Pattada's on the Sardanianknives site. I don't believe they are autos but it got me thinking how it would be nice to see them again.

Always have been one of my favorite patterns. Nickel silver bolster is probably an improvement but I do like the look of old ones with the brass bolsters on front and back. Unfortunately the few I have owned all had a flaw or 2.

Those 2 are beauties whippersnapper

I only have an old Pattada folder, non auto ,but they have a great cutting blade and I like the shape a lot.

You will have to get the brasso/mothers polish out or let them age gracefully :)

I like a bit of patina myself.

Nice looking blades there, whippersnapper! I don't know if I'd polish them up or leave the patina. They'll look good either way. By the way, your parts knife was in today's mail. Haven't gotten a chance to open it yet but thanks so much!
