One example is the classic below: a Sardinian handmade Pattada.

Wait, are you Microbe?

On topic:

I'm a little on the fence about these. I really like the looks & dimensions of some I've seen, but I don't think I'd feel comfortable using them. Maybe one day, when I can't think of other knives to buy anymore.

Are you "Here comes the BOOM!"? :nana:

Well a Pattada ain't no knife to take out for cutting open 100's of boxes in a day, nor will it be useful in any zombie apocalypse, heck it does not even have a nail nick, so quick draws are out of the question, it is a real 2 hand opener.
But it has got some nice features that make it very useful for EDC, it weighs next to nothing, and it has a blade!
It is excellent to use for food consumption, and the occasional letter/package opening.
This is one knife that I will still rotate in my carry when I am going to be old and grey.

I polished the blade too. It was boss.

I have one out having scales made that I was gonna polish up, actually, or maybe a total acid etch. Or stonewash. I dunno.

I'd polish it. It looks so sweet polished. Should have made your own scales for practice. Its easy on that knife.

Heh.
