La Cantina - Sally
Presenting The Sally by Simone Milanesi (La Cantina)—an exquisite gentleman’s dagger crafted with Milenesi’s signature precision and artistry. This piece features a RWL34 blade hardened to 60 HRC, finished in a stunning high polish and protected with a sleek DLC (Diamond-Like Coating) treatment. It deploys effortlessly and locks securely with a smooth inset lock.
The handle showcases stabilized dark-green birch scales that appear richly black with subtle green highlights, complemented by striking fiery mother-of-pearl inlays and a crisp white G10 liner. A lightweight black carbon-fiber backspacer and DLC-coated steel liners add both durability and visual depth, while ceramic bearings ensure an exceptionally fluid action.
Fresh from the maker and acquired at Blade Show, this dagger exemplifies refined craftsmanship—an exceptional addition for discerning collectors and enthusiasts alike.
Blade length: 3 3/4"
Closed: 5"
Case/sheath: This knife rests in a custom leather La Cantina logo zippered pouch which is housed in a presentation box that has a trick opener (the end with the La Cantina logo turns 90 degrees which facilitates a system of magnets that will allow the box to open). A Certificate of Authenticity is included.
The last three pictures are taken in natural light which shows off the fire in the pearl and how the DLC looks under different light/angles.
