An Italian Regional Knife! The Antonini Caltagirone!

[@terrancecoard388]

We in the knife community really need to stop referring to these knives a cheap. A week ago I took a chance on buying the least expensive knife I ever purchased. A single blade appeals to me and saw it as I was getting ready to check out. It is the Rough Rider Blackwood Work Knife (large)for $7.43 at Chicago Knife Works. The fit and finish is well beyond what I expected...there are no flaws and the wood has character in the light. A few passes on the strop and she is good to go. CKW has your knife for $12.43 so I added it to my cart. The brand is new to me so thank you for showing it.

I quite like this one, pretty nice for a made in Italy foler.

Cheap means it doesn't cost much, cheap doesn't mean it's bad.

@@TheKnifeRaven no worries, I always on the lookout for new channels to watch especially ones like yourself who review knife brands and patterns I have not seen before, since watching your review, I have been searching for it with my usual supplier, unfortunately it is out of stock, it would be a great addition to my collection. I have only one Italian knife in my collection a Maserin Temperino, a single bladed knife, stainless body with Ebony inserts, a “ gentleman’s carry” Great to talk 👍

[@TheKnifeRaven]

@@puzzlering1 If you want one of these, they have them at a place called "Warriors & Wonders". They're my frequent supplier of most brands. I don't know if you're in North America, but the shipping is superb! (They also stock the Temperino!) Cheers, friend!

[@puzzlering1]

@@TheKnifeRaven Thank you for that.👍

[@TheKnifeRaven]

I purchased this knife. It isn't bad but I have a hard time getting a toothy or polished razor edge on it. I guess I don't like the way they have heat treated the steel. I can get my SAKs, Opinel, and Douk Douk way sharper.

[@TheKnifeRaven]

Yeah, the edge on mine is sharp, but far from smooth. Regardless, it's still an okay piece. Cheers!

[@Leftyotism]

There is no 420 C or 420 A. There is 440A, 440B and 440C, and 420 is not one of them.

[@TheKnifeRaven]

Well, according to Antonini, the blade is "Aisi 420 Steel". I can't recall what I said the steel was in this video! Cheers!
