"The Paisano"
Handmade by Dave Ferry
A refined mid size knife, the Paisano is slim, making it the perfect everyday carry. A brass bolster compliments the handle of your choice. Crafted from 440C stainless steel and hardened to 56-58 Rockwell hardness. This flat ground blade has been cryogenically treated and tempered for additional edge holding ability. The Paisano is 6.5 inches in overall length with a 2.5 inch blade. These knives are handmade to your order specifications. You choose the handle material and sheath style. Please allow APPROXIMATELY 16 weeks for completion of your handmade knife. Any Dymondwood handle comes standard with this knife for the base price. The attractive spacers used between the bolster and the handle will come standard on your Paisano knife. (Please see Handle Material Options on the bottom of this page). An Oil Tan, Slotted sheath is included in price. Options on this knife include: a nickel silver bolster, spacers, mosaic pins, and filework. BASEPRICE: $155.00
The Paisano is also available in D2 Tool Steel. D2 is a premium grade steel famous for its edge holding ability. It has a high chromium and high carbon content, which results in superior abrasion resistance and toughness. These blades have been cryogenically quenched during the heat treating process for optimal edge holding ability. The Rockwell hardness is 61. While D2 is superior for edge holding ability, it is more difficult to re-sharpen. These D2 blades are finished in matte grey.
This D2 option adds $10.00 to the base price of the Paisano.
