The Sardinian connection.

[lambertiana]

Signor Sechi certainly does not make things easy. He made two resolzas with sanguinato horn and allowed me to choose which one I wanted. I'm still not sure I made the right decision, but I chose this knife due to its lines. I like the curve of its handle.

Looks like a winner

Good choice regardless!!

I thought you might like a few photos I took in Nuoro and other places to give some context.
The pictures I really want to show you are stuck on my old computer, of old historic knives etc.

Google translates "Mascalzone Sardo" as; "Sardinian Rascal!!"

Nice pics, Johnny. Wonderful trip you had!!

I bet that brought a smile to your face. Did you get a spring knife or the traditional friction folder?

I'm a bit surprised..... Thought you didn't like friction folders?! It's beautiful!!

kamagong Many thanks, I'm trying out Friction

draggat An acquired taste...but this one has the aesthetics The only people who can't change their minds are the dead

Hello Will,

The only people who can't change their minds are the dead

Unfortunately I'm not so sure of that but you're not part of these XXXXX
What is important is consistency. Even if today a few Sardinian knife-makers make slip joint pattada the knife has been developped for the friction.

I'm following your example and giving friction a try as well. I anticipate getting a spring knife version eventually though.

At least you chose one of the best options! These Sardinian knives are probably the most useful and elegant, across the board, when it comes to friction folders

My resolza is here!

My resolza is here!

Gorgeous!! What is the steel type?

 

[kamagong]

Thanks Steve. I'm very taken with it.

As this is my first resolza, I chose to go the traditional route. Though smaller knives are increasing in popularity, I wanted something a Sardinian man would be proud to carry. The blade is 11cm of XC75 carbon steel. OAL is 23cm. Larger than I usually go with for a folding knife, but then again I'm not often inclined to carry a friction folder.
