Top clamp locking/unlocking system

The double-column top clamp locking and unlocking device allows a perfect hold of the product on the meat table.

Blade protection device

Tribute is equipped with a protection device that covers the blade to ensure maximum safety while using or cleaning the machine.

The Zero Tolerance 0808BLU, with blue-anodized handle, is a sprint run built in a limited quantity.

The 0808 is a collaboration between ZT and custom knifemaker Todd Rexford and is based on his Cesium model. It features advanced-formula stainless steel and ZT’s smooth-as-silk KVT opening system. The 0808’s blade is built of Crucible S35VN stainless steel. This powdered metallurgy steel is extremely fine-grained so it can be sharpened to a razor edge. Added niobium and nitrogen enhance toughness to resist chipping and provide excellent edge retention. Yet it’s also easy to re-sharpen.

Opening is fast and simple with KVT. Caged ball bearings surround the pivot to make the blade quick and easy to open using the built-in flipper. With KVT, the 0808 is as easy to open as any assisted knife, but without the need for a spring.

The 0808GLD’s blade is paired with chamfered titanium handles that provide a solid, comfortable grip. The sturdy frame lock has a hardened steel lockbar insert to offer extra-secure, extra-solid blade lock up. The reversible pocketclip enables you to carry comfortably left- or right-handed.

This blue-anodized edition of the 0808, the 0808BLU, is a sprint run. Quantities are limited. Check with your local ZT dealer for availability.

Rivista a colori Bimestrale prodotta e distribuita in Italia specializzata in coltelli di tutti i tipi (collezione, artigianali, militari, sportivi, multiuso…). 82 Pagine

Non perdete in edicola l’appuntamento con il nuovo numero del bimestrale Coltelli, che potete trovare dal prossimo 4 febbraio 2017. Il numero 80 ospita un ampio articolo dedicato al Cic Show, la mostra organizzata dalla Corporazione italiana coltellinai al Marriott Hotel di Milano.

Noi di Coltelli eravamo presenti e abbiamo potuto toccare letteralmente con mano l’elevata qualità dei pezzi esposti da coltellinai provenienti da tutto il mondo. E non è un modo di dire: oltre alle varie aree della nostra penisola, c’erano knifemaker francesi, tedeschi, finlandesi, hawaiani, statunitensi, brasiliani, russi, e giapponesi. Pezzi meravigliosi, forme nuove, chiusure particolari, lavorazioni minuziose: insomma, la definizione “opera d’arte” calza a pennello per la maggior parte dei coltelli esposti. I pezzi migliori li trovate a partire da pagina 8, nell’ampio reportage che anche quest’anno abbiamo deciso di dedicare all’evento della coltelleria custom più importante in Europa.

Naturalmente, gli italiani sono la maggioranza e non per una mera questione di vicinanza geografica: è la qualità dei lavori a giusticarne la presenza. E l’aspetto positivo è che, a fianco di coltellinai la cui età – almeno quella anagrafica – si aggira intorno agli 80 anni (comeRon Lake, l’ospite d’onore della manifestazione milanese e protagonista della copertina), ne abbiamo incontrati altri che non arrivano alla metà di 80: insomma il ricambio generazionale è garantito. Del resto, ai nostri coltellinai non manca di certo l’intraprendenza.

Prendete, per esempio, i cinque coltellinai che hanno sfidato i -23°C di Helsinki per partecipare alla mostra della Guild locale (vedi a pagina 24); due di loro hanno anche affrontato l’esame per essere ammessi nell’associazione dei knifemaker finlandesi, superandolo. In particolare, per Denis Mura è la quinta Guild che lo accetta tra i suoi iscritti: un insieme di riconoscimenti che pochi altri possono vantare (almeno a noi non viene in mente nessun nome). Certo, in tema di freddo, anche Anguillara, 30 km circa da Roma, non scherza: i customisti che hanno esposto a dicembre, poco prima di Natale, hanno sofferto parecchio. Ma la passione per le lame (magari con una forgia vicina) scalda i cuori e, influenze a parte, ha contribuito non poco al successo della manifestazione.

Per la coltelleria industriale questo numero contiene numerose presentazioni e prove: Fox Desert Fox, Benchmade Crooked River, Boker Tech Tool, Oberland Gloa Seep, Outdoor Edge Le Duck, Extrema Ratio Dobermann II, e i Multitasker Series 3 e Twist.
