Collection Knives: For Knife Collectors and Custom Knife Enthusiasts

As unique as a fingerprint, the Wander Tactical REVENANT is the creation of master craftsman Dino Picco, who has the ability to transform steel into emotion. It is not a knife: it is a functional sculpture, a one-of-a-kind piece in which strength and beauty coexist in perfect balance.

The D2 steel blade, hardened to 59/61 HRC and finished with an attractive Marble texture, catches the eye with its vivid veins, like a mineral forged from the earth itself. The handle, made of deer horn and Micarta, conveys an authentic connection with nature, offering a warm and ancestral grip, while its 508 grams speak to the substance of a tool born to last beyond time.

The heavy black leather sheath, hand-stitched and designed to accompany it with the same dignity, seals the character of an object that knows no compromise. A unique piece, not included in the catalog, accompanied only by a certificate of guarantee and authenticity: the REVENANT is not owned, it is handed down.

There is a place in the Bay of Bengal called North Sentinel Island. A place where outsiders are not welcome and anyone who dares to approach is greeted with apocalyptic fury. The inhabitants have lived this way for thousands of years, vigorously defending their land. The world may see them as savages, but they simply protect what is theirs.

From this story comes the idea for the APOCALYPSE knife, designed for extreme survival situations. Made with an ultra-strong full-tang construction of Elmax stainless steel, its 172 mm blade is ready for the apocalypse also reinforced by the Apocalyptic blade finish-a special workmanship that gives it a rugged, lived-in look. This finish not only adds a distinctive aesthetic, but also offers increased resistance to scratches and wear, making the knife ideal for extreme and survival situations

Textured handle cheeks and jimping on the back provide a secure and comfortable grip, while the overall length of 300 mm makes it an imposing force. This knife is designed for those who want to be serious--for those who want the APOCALYPSE!

On December 9, 1942, during the Second World War, KA-BAR presented a knife to the United States Marine Corps hoping it would become the standard weapon. In collaboration with the Marine Supply Department, the project was revised, and production began on an improved combat and utility knife.

During the war, USMC KA-BAR knives gained such recognition for their quality and abundance that "KABAR" became the common name. It was adopted by the Marines, Army, Navy, Coast Guard, and Underwater Demolition Teams. Years later, many KA-BAR knives were reactivated in Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2019, KA-Bar partnered with Spartan Blades to form Pineland Cutlery. CEO John Stitt aimed to create a "KA-BAR" with improved strength, robustness, and corrosion resistance. During development, metallurgist Larrin Thomas identified CPM MagnaCut® steel with the desired qualities.

CPM MagnaCut® is a sintered high-carbon steel produced by Crucible Industries and specifically designed for blades. Spartan Blades developed the Spartan-KA-BAR using CNC machining, cryogenic treatment, and PVD coatings.

Notes: Please note that the Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coated blade, when inserted or removed from the leather sheath, may show streaks or stains due to the dye used for the sheath. The blade can be cleaned with petroleum or acetone, re-oiled (e.g., with WD40 or light mechanical oil), and dried with a clean cloth to restore the original coating finish.

Magnum continues the tradition of its annual knives and presents the Collection 2023, a collector's knife with exceptional appeal. Passionate knife collectors around the world will once again be faced with the choice of whether the knife should find a place in the display case or on the belt. Lucas Burnley, considered one of the world's most renowned knife designers and who has already launched several successful knife series for Boker and Boker Plus, was won over for this special project.

The Magnum Collection 2023 is an impressive full tang outdoor knife with a massive D2 blade that features a pronounced ricasso and an unusual two-tone finish. The designer alternates between a horizontal and vertical finish on the blade, which underscores the special appeal of the fixed-blade knife. Attention to detail also continues in the contoured handle with black polished Micarta grips that gives excellent user ergonomics for effortless work. Features include a high-quality leather sheath with two snap fasteners, an exclusive collector's box, and a certificate of authenticity. The Magnum Collection 2023 is strictly limited to 1999 pieces worldwide.

Japanese steel merges with Italian excellence.

For this new collaboration, between Coltelleria Collini of Busto Arsizio and Fox of Maniago, we chose the Rimor model. Only 9 exclusive pieces of this excellent bushcraft knife produced by Fox of Maniago have been made, using for this edition the Japanese V-Toku2 steel in 5mm Sanmai produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel instead of the Niolox used in the standard model. 

Specifically, the central sheet is the carbonaceous V-Toku2 at 62/63HRC and on the outer cheeks there is the stainless SUS410, so as to ensure not only a beautiful aesthetic effect, but also a very high cutting capacity, penetration and edge retention along with easy resharpening and maintenance. At the same time, the blade has remarkable corrosion resistance and an important increase in resilience given by the type of extreme steel and laminated structure.

The stonewashed finish creates a scratch-resistant surface and also increases the blade's resistance to corrosion. A hidden hole at the end of the grip offers the possibility to mount a lanyard (included).

The Kydex® sheath of the Tactical Eight Black with a material thickness of 2.5 millimeters provides the basis for a well thought-out and durable carrying system that fully meets the high demands placed on a tactical knife in practice.

Notes: Limited and numbered edition of 1999 copies - Design by Dietmar Pohl (Pohl Force)

The particular situation created in the early years of the 1914/18 war, now mired in increasingly complex and protected trenches and fortifications, favored the formation of men who, little by little, specialized in the coup.

Our assault units, the Arditi, had their dagger. It was obtained from the pieces cut away by the long blades of the Vetterli 1870 bayonets, which in the narrow trenches, in the corridors, between the reticulars were only an obstacle. It was certainly a rustic weapon, of recovery, not too beautiful but certainly inexpensive, light, not cumbersome and in expert hands also effective.

Today, on the occasion of the centenary, we recall this important page of Italian military history with a limited celebratory series in only 100 numbered copies. This version has a satin blade and a walnut wood handle and is sold with a wooden box and leather sheath.

Chris Reeve - Mk IV 28 Year Commemorative knife

For 28 years, (the A2 round handled) One Piece Range of knives has been an essential part of Chris Reeve Knives. From Chris first designing the concept while serving in the South African Army in Namibia to today, these knives have been used, carried, admired and collected in all corners of the world.

An integral part of the success of this range has been Eddie Myers. Eddie was Chris's foreman when Chris was an apprentice tool and die maker. They have known each other more years than they care to count and Chris has always regarded Eddie as mentor, teacher, friend and consultant! For 25 years, Eddie has machined the blanks for our One Piece Knives. Still living in South Africa, Eddie and his wife Caroline, have provided fine service to deliver the best blanks at the best price. (There is no question that the volatility of the South African currency has helped over the years!)

Eddie and Caroline want to retire. Ed wants to buy a boat again and go fishing whenever he feels like it! This brought us to a cross-roads--do we try to source a vendor in the USA or should we simply retire a - Classic. We have decided to take the second choice--to discontinue the One Piece Range.

To celebrate the end of this era, Chris Reeve Knives offered a limited edition of 250 Commemorative Mk IVs. The Mk IV was the first iteration of the one piece concept to become known there is still call for this model which we initially discontinued in 1995. It has a 7 inch blade with a clip point and sawback. For this commemorative edition, the butt cap is engraved and polished and the sheath has a commemorative logo embossed.

One Piece Knife Concept

The idea of the one piece knife was born while Chris was serving time in the South African Army on the Namibia/Angola border in 1979. The experiences of military service have contributed substantially to the features in these knives.

Chris realized that the ideal working knife was a tool which was strong, reliable and impervious to temperature and humidity. Extensive time has been devoted to design, and research and development to improve both the blade designs and the methods used in making the knives.

Each knife is made from a solid billet of A2 tool steel. The stock removal method results in two distinct advantages--the strength/weight ratio is exceptional and there is no handle/blade join. This means that there is no area where the blade and handle could come apart--a weakness in the design of other hollow handle knives. The handle cavity is larger than that of any similar knife. The hollow handle is closed with a butt cap made of 6061 aluminum which screws into the handle against a Neoprene "O" ring, ensuring the cavity is sealed from dust and moisture. All the one piece knives are hardened to 55-57 RC and random checks are made to ensure accuracy. This hardness gives superb toughness, good edge retention and allows for efficient sharpening in the field. Each knife is coated with super hi-tech KG Gun-Koteä originally developed for use in the aerospace industry. This coating offers a durable, long-lasting, non-reflective covering. Included in the price of each knife is a hand-made leather sheath. A lifelong guarantee, signed by Chris accompanies each knife.
The one piece design offers the highest possible weight/strength ratio
A2 Tool Steel offers excellent edge retention and good shock resistance
Hardness at between 55 and 57 Rockwell C is not brittle but gives good edge retention along with ease of sharpening
An 8" hollow grind is used with a full thickness back edge. All designs are ground to allow the full thickness of the back edge to come as close to the point as possible, affording a very strong front tip but not restricting the knife's ability to pierce
The hollow handle, which is created to reduce weight, is larger than any similar sized knife because there is no join between handle and blade
The aluminum butt cap provides an airtight closure for the hollow handle and is designed so that it can be used for hammering. Because using the knife as a hammer can be dangerous to one's knuckles and fingers, we do not recommend that this be done unless in an emergency situation. It is preferable to use a hammer
Full depth precision machined knurling affords maximum non-slip grip
Non-reflective KG Gun-Koteä coating gives lasting protection
All knives carry a lifetime guarantee and a damaged knife will be replaced or repaired at Chris' discretion. This guarantee does not cover damage to a knife that has been thrown or used for heavy levering
These knives are used by hunters, backpackers, SWAT teams, military personnel, firefighters and police all over the world. They are also to be found in many knife collections and most of our customers own more than one of our knives
Each hand made leather sheath is designed to fit the knife well, to give maximum protection to the carrier and the knife when being carried. Because we continue to improve our design, sheaths supplied might not be exactly as shown in the brochure
Replacement butt caps and sheaths are available at reasonable prices
Many customers feel that once their knives have been used, they lose collector's value. This is not so as the knife can be returned to Chris Reeve Knives, where it will be sandblasted, re-coated with KG Gun-Kotea, sharpened and returned to it's original condition.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (prefecture of Fukui), 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 Steel products (especially damask) with which he made various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for finishes (mostly natural), the essential lines - evocative use - and the color combinations of rare impact make his accomplishments unique and unmistakable in the panorama of the cutlery world and at home, have earned him the prestigious Master title.

With the Quebec One, Pohl Force has implemented a classic use knife that
has been high on the wish list of company founder Dietmar Pohl for more than 20 years. Finally Pohl Force has received exclusive permission of the original manufacturer to be able to use the basic design for its own interpretation. As a “Ground Forces Combat & General Purpose Weapon“ the knife was developed in the early ‚50’s for the U.S. Marine Corps.
Although never officially introduced, it was used in Vietnam -mainly in the hands of Special Forces units where it clearly demonstrated its capabilities. Pohl Force has now recreated 60 years later a modern interpretation of this classic knife which displays the optimal fusion of a classic old school design, with modern high- tech manufacturing.
