Thank you Achille so much for what you have already provided me and for the offer. What you say is very true. Unfortunately it doesn't say HOW to make up my mind. So many things appeal. I am like many here if not most. Certain knives call out to you, for what ever reason, and those are the ones that capture your interest. So it is with the Pattada, as well as the Theirs and the Lauguiole from your country. All 3 call to me. Being of limited means, for now, all 3 of those calls I have to let ring through to call waiting. lolHi Dan, It's always a pleasure to share and as I've learnt a lot here about the traditional american knive it's natural for me to help those who are interested in the sardinian cutlery.
There are plenty of knife-makers in the island. But all have their own style and specialities.
To choose a knife-maker you have to know what you want, a pattada, a logudoresa, a dorgalesa, a broader blade, something traditional with a horn handle, more modern in micarta or G10, a damascus blade, san mai blade, carbone or inox ,etc etc...
Please do not hesitate to ask more questions.

But that does not prevent me from enjoying other aspects of our passion. The hunt, the discovery, the learning, and the dreams - which are all free and perhaps the best part of it all in the end anyway!
And that is what happens and allows us all to meet here on BF!
