3 Saladini Traditional folding knives

[pgockley]

Italians have been making knives for a long time. Took a bit of doing, but collected these 3 beauties. One from U.S other 2 imported from Italy.
From top to bottom Pattada in blonde flame horn, Gobbo Abruzzese in black horn, Napoletano black flame horn. Gobbo and Napoletano have 1/2 stops. All convex grind and super sharp. Something a bit different. Added 2nd pic.

Nice looking knives. Is there no nail nick on the knife at the top of the photo? Is it a friction folder or a slipjoint? I noticed that you said the other two have half stops so those are obviously slipjoints but I wasn't sure about this one. I haven't seen many Saladini knives. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Top one is also slip joint, just pinch blade to open.

one from World Knives here in US, other 2 I sourced from Italy, a bit expensive- shipping and Euro to USD conversion etc, but ya got to do it for this knife crazziness! Saladini has a website.
