collection knives

Produced in Olean, NY, in collaboration with the skilled people at KA-BAR knives, the design of the Spartan-Harsey Nessmuk is based on a classic American concept popularized by George Washington Sears (1821-1890) and the more moderate ergonomic designs of William W. Harsey Jr.

Under the guidance of a Native American from the Narragansett tribe named Nessmuk, George Washington Sears embraced the natural world, learning survival skills. Sears adopted "Nessmuk," meaning "wood duck," as his pseudonym, reflecting his love for forest life. Writing as "Nessmuk," he contributed to Forest and Stream magazine in the 1880s, promoting canoeing, the Adirondack lakes, and environmentalism.

Sears' diverse experiences led to his writings on the wonders of nature and conservation. He advocated minimalism: lighting fires, setting up tents, and more. He emphasized respect for nature, leading to a call for conservation.

Sears authored "Woodcraft" (1884), offering practical advice and introspection. The "Log of the Bucktail" series and poetry followed. Illness couldn't weaken his love for nature. He passed away in 1890, with Nessmuk's legacy enduring in Wellsboro.

A supporter of thin and sharp knives, Sears' ideals are reflected in our Nessmuk design.

Company History.
In 1938, Rudy Ruana began making knives in a small store in Montana. Members of his family continue to this day to handcraft Ruana knives in the same store. In 1964 Ruana's son-in-law, Vic Hangas, left a job with a telephone company and put his artistic talents to good use, joining Ruana in the business. Hangas' son Mark began working in the business in 1976. In 1983, Ruana retired at the age of 80 and sold the business to the Hangas family. In 1984 Mike Hangas joined his brother and father and the company was incorporated. Rudy Ruana died in April 1986. He was honored with posthumous induction into the American Bladesmith Society's Hall of Fame in 1997 and Blade magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2002.

Ruana knives are still handmade in the small Montana store where Rudy Ruana began forging blades more than 80 years ago. In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana knives are still handmade in the United States, with a focus on quality rather than quantity. Although some things have changed over the years, still using the same methods and much of the same equipment used by Rudy Ruana.

The STA Sniper blade was designed for a USMC scout/sniper and STA training group instructor in Phoenix, Arizona. Medford wanted to offer something completely unique to the Sniper's craft and his particular needs.

A clever design that utilises the integration of innovative tools with classic knife elements for a perfect blend of form and function. The 1/2" spanner in the handle fits almost any scope mounting system ring, the hilt screwdriver adjusts to turret adjustments, the measuring marks on the back are extremely convenient for both scouting and sniping, and the LTRE (Look Through Range Estimator) can significantly improve sight distance estimation up to 400 metres. The blade is extremely robust for field work and the compact size allows easy placement in any kit/equipment.

Special limited edition model created on the occasion of the XXV Anniversary of Extrema Ratio

Extrema Ratio Misericordia Black Warfare is a version in a limited series of only 500 pieces that preserves intact all the features of the famous Misericordia model adopted by the 4th Alpine Parachute Regiment, which helped develop and test the product and chose it for its unique characteristics that make it particularly suitable for ambush combat.

The blade is milled from Böhler N690 steel, hardened to 58 HRC for the best balance of edge retention and strength, is 118mm long, 4mm thick, and has a flat edge. The weight of the knife is just 87g. It has a spear-point profile, with a full-length shank that makes it even lighter, features ¾-length false counter-wire, and has a Black Warfare finish, with the innovative and original Extrema Ratio Geotech Camo pattern, made by laser engraving.

The handle retains the unmistakable Extrema Ratio ergonomic profile, and is made of fiberglass-filled nylon to ensure absolute robustness in all conditions, even in the heaviest of uses. The distinctive ring on the bottom of the grip aids hand grip by allowing the soldier a greater and firmer lunge, exponentially increasing the combat potential of the Misericordia.

The Kydex scabbard offers belt-clip, ulti-clip and malice-clip attachment options. In addition, it is possible to attach the scabbard to the M.O.L.L.E. system by braiding the paracord lanyard. The Misericordia Black Warfare comes in an IP67-certified watertight Polypropylene technical case, with pressurization valve, weatherproof, dustproof and shockproof, inside of which is also the Kydex sheath, double UTLICLIP, double-grit sharpening plate (ceramic abrasive and synthetic diamond) and metal plaque with the progressive number of the limited series.

Japanese steel blends with Italian excellence

For this 2022 collaboration, between the Collini Cutlery of Busto Arsizio and the Fox of Maniago, we have decided to propose the 103MB Outdoor model designed by Reichart Markus. Only 18 exclusive pieces of this excellent bushcraft knife produced by Fox of Maniago were made, using for this edition the Japanese V-Toku2 steel in Sanmai 5mm produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel instead of the Niolox used in the series model.

Specifically, we used V-Toku2 carbonaceous at 62 / 63HRC for the central plate and SUS410 stainless steel for the two external plates, in order to guarantee, in addition to a beautiful aesthetic effect, a very high cutting capacity, penetration and sealing of the wire together with an ease of re-sharpening and maintenance. At the same time the blade has a remarkable resistance to corrosion and an important increase in resilience given by the type of external steel and by the laminated structure.

The various models of the Magnum Collection have been adorning the windows of countless knife enthusiasts for many years. This year's collector's knife was designed by Brian Efros of Colorado and combines well thought out construction with high quality materials and perfect workmanship. The full-time cutler has been designing and manufacturing his own knives since 2008 and is now known far beyond the country's borders. Full order booklets, perfect workmanship and individual implementation ensure that his hand-made pieces reach the best prices internationally.

The Magnum Collection 2022 is an outdoor knife with an extremely robust drop point blade in satin D2. The screwable titanium handguard and the pronounced indentation of the fingers prevent involuntary blade slipping and thus safety at work. The OD green grip scales of the full tang construction are made of textured micarta and are held in place by decorative titanium screws. The combination of ergonomic design and pleasing shape also offers an exceptionally fuller grip feel. This unique collector's knife is strictly limited to 1999 pieces worldwide. Comes with a high quality leather sheath in an exclusive collector's box and with a certificate of authenticity.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His lab is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji forge steel (especially damascus) with which he made various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for finishing (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative use - and the color combinations of rare impact his accomplishments make unique and unmistakable in view of the cutlery world and at home, have earned him the prestigious Master title.

Craftsmanship is beautiful because it is varied

The colors of the materials with which the handmade products are made may vary from those shown in the images.

Horn, wood and cornotech are raw materials that by their nature have a marked variability from one supply to another: it is the beauty of quality materials. Add craftsmanship, where the craftsman's hand never makes the same gesture: it's the beauty of craftsmanship. Combine all this and you will always have a different and unique product. It is always different from the one and unrepeatable product that we must necessarily photograph if we want you to understand what we are talking about and what we are offering you.
