Pattada is known for the production of Sardinian knives, called ''resolzas''. There are numerous knife shops where local artisans produce these blades by hand.

Resolza
The resòlza, also known as resòrza, resòrja or arresòja, is a traditional Sardinian folding-blade fighting and utility knife. In Sardinia, this term is widely used to describe all foldable knives. Like the straight razor, the resolza's blade folds into the handle when not in use. Although the blade traces its origins to the Nuragic civilization, since it has always served as a nearly indispensable tool for agro-pastoral work, the word's origin dates from around the 17th century: the term in Sardinian is derived from the Latin ''rasoria'', which translates to for "razor used for shaving". Back in those times, the ''resolza'' was used as an habitual item of personal wear, assisting the herdsmen with their daily activities, rather than for defensive purposes. In the 18th century, many travellers visiting the island reported in fact that Sardinians (especially the society's most prominent members) generally carried either a dagger (''sa daga'') or a peculiar sabre on the belt ...
