Mystery knives: Mantra? Pattada?

[Cyrano]

There are couple of items here about which I can't find any info anywhere ...

I'm very curious to see what a Spyderco Pattada looks like.

My guess is something like this, but with a Spyderhole of course... Image below is courtesy of this Wikipedia page.

I'm wondering the exact same thing. Also anyone know if the Stretch in hap40 will be clad or solid hap40

Laminate just like all Hap40's. As long as my memory is good if it is FRN, it's a laminate.

It'll be clad, with HAP40 core and SUS410 on the outside.

I'm wondering if it will be Stretch, or Stretch 2?

Oh man, a Spyderco Pattada?! I've wanted one of those Sardinian beauties for a while now, and a Spyderco none-the-less. Seems like a nice addition.

Are Pattada's traditionally slip joints? I'm not familiar...

 

[fishface5]

they are slippies or autos I think

I think Extrema Ratio has set a very high bar for a modern interpretation of the pattada:

Somewhat reminds me of the old Laguiole.

Extreme Ratio makes very good knives. I've met and spoke with the owner a number of times and he has his head in the right place.

The Pattada is our newest "Ethnic series" models based on the Sardinian traditional knife. I designed the model to be traditional and tried to capture the "spirit" of the model. We went back and forth with the slip-joint vs lock and eventually ended up with a Walker LinerLock.

The Mantra is a unique model designed by Eric with two blade variations and one handle. It is a flipper and a percentage of sales goes to Parkinson's research.

Sal: Thanks for the info. I've placed my pre-order for the Pattada.

Glad to hear about the lock.
