As in the ancient swords of the Japanese Samurai.

Rolled steel - imported into Italy from Collini Steel directly from the Japanese Takefu Steel - is based on the ancient Japanese tradition in the creation of the famous Samurai swords. Already in 1100 the expert Japanese blacksmiths in fact combined different materials to give the Katana swords incredible cutting capabilities combined with a resistance and flexibility previously unknown. It is thanks to this revolutionary construction technique that the swords from Samurai have been preserved to the present day becoming one of the most fascinating objects made by man. Following this tradition applied to modern metallurgy, we are now able to have technologically advanced steels already tested and used in cutlery also by famous brands such as Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Mcusta, Kai, Sog, Zwilling, Rockstead, etc.

Characteristics of San Mai steel: These are different types of metals bonded together to create a composite that encloses and intensifies the strengths of the metals taken individually:

- Longer tool life
thanks to the use of high quality steel with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the heart of the sheet (Core Steel), the blade once hardened, achieves hardness and cutting performance decidedly higher than those achieved with the use of traditional steels.

- Greater resilience
built with the principle of Japanese swords, multilayer steel is difficult to break thanks to the toughness of the central steel (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the steel used for the lateral coating (Stainless Steel).

- Better corrosion resistance
the steel used for the external layers (Stainless Steel) guarantees the blade a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates, at the galvanic level, a structure that improves the corrosion resistance even on the wire.

- Easy processing even after heat treatment
although normally the steel becomes harder after hardening, the lateral steel used in multi-layer processing does not lose its softness and allows easy processing, drilling or welding even after heat treatment. For optimal performance of the blade, cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improvement of the aesthetic rendering
The knives made with multistate steel or with damask pattern at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.

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.

The "Roman" testifies to the widespread mentality in the Papal States for which the knife was considered as a faithful friend to be constantly worn "in his pocket" and to be unleashed at the first hint of a fight or for an immediate response.

Many elements constituting the "Roman" bear witness to the offensive use that distinguished this knife: the sharp blade, the decorations of the lattice handle or fish bone that served to improve the grip, the locking system with fixed spring that prevented the knife could close up accidentally and that at the time of the opening emitted a dry noise that exalted the aggressive expression.

In collaboration with Wander Tactical, a unique and exclusive piece to collect, the Godfather model, in a satin blade version with San Mai Japanese steel blade produced by Takefu Steel.
This time, in the rich catalog of products offered by them, we have chosen a particular steel with a carbon cutting edge, but with external stainless steel cheeks. Specifically, for the central sheet we used the carbonaceous V-Toku2 at 62 / 63HRC and the SUS410 for external lamination in order to guarantee a very high cutting, penetration and sealing capacity of the wire together with an ease of regrinding and maintenance; at the same time the blade has a remarkable corrosion resistance and an important increase in resilience given by the laminated structure.

Craftsman notes: Pat Crawford and his son Wes are recognized in the world among the most important blacksmiths and knife forgers.
Their company, Crawford Knives, is located in West Memphis, Arkansas. Pat has been a pioneer in the manufacture of combat grips and has been a member of the Knifemakers Guild since 1973. He was among the first to integrate titanium into the grips and to skeleton the same to reduce weight and improve the grip of the knife.
Crawford knife handle materials include wood, ivory, deer horn, micarta and other exotic materials. They also offer, on customer request, inlays, personalized engravings.
Pat says: "The reason why I make the knives is the personal satisfaction that I receive in being the boss of myself and in producing a beautiful object that will last over time". Pat has collaborated and designed knives for CRKT and Cold Steel

As in the ancient swords of the Japanese Samurai.

The laminated steel - imported into Italy by Collini Steel directly from the Japanese Takefu Steel - is based on the ancient Japanese tradition in the creation of the famous Samurai swords. Already in 1100 the Japanese blacksmiths experts in fact united different materials together to give the Katana swords incredible cutting skills combined with a resistance and flexibility previously unknown. It is thanks to this revolutionary construction technique that Samurai swords have been preserved to this day, becoming one of the most fascinating objects created by man. Following this tradition applied to modern metallurgy, we can now have technologically advanced steels already tested and used in cutlery even by famous brands such as Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Mcusta, Kai, Sog, Zwilling, Rockstead, etc.

Characteristics of San Mai steel: These are different types of metals bonded together to create a composite that contains and intensifies the strengths of the metals individually taken:

Japanese laminated steel

- Longer tool life
thanks to the use of very high quality steels with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the heart of the slab (Core Steel), the blade, once hardened, achieves decidedly hardness and cutting performance higher than those achieved with the use of traditional steels.

- Greater resilience
built with the principle of Japanese swords, multilayer steel is difficult to break thanks to the toughness of central steel (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the steel used for the side cladding (Stainless Steel).

- Better corrosion resistance
the steel used for the outer layers (Stainless Steel) guarantees the blade a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates a galvanic structure that improves corrosion resistance even on the wire.

- Easy processing even after heat treatment
although normally the steel becomes harder after hardening, the lateral steel used in multilayer processing does not lose its softness and allows easy processing, drilling or welding even after heat treatment. For an optimal performance of the blade, a cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improvement of aesthetic performance
Knives made with multi-layer steel or with damask patterns at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.

As in the ancient swords of the Japanese Samurai.

The laminated steel - imported into Italy by Collini Steel directly from the Japanese Takefu Steel - is based on the ancient Japanese tradition in the creation of the famous Samurai swords. Already in 1100 the Japanese blacksmiths experts in fact united different materials together to give the Katana swords incredible cutting skills combined with a resistance and flexibility previously unknown. It is thanks to this revolutionary construction technique that Samurai swords have been preserved to this day, becoming one of the most fascinating objects created by man. Following this tradition applied to modern metallurgy, we can now have technologically advanced steels already tested and used in cutlery even by famous brands such as Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Mcusta, Kai, Sog, Zwilling, Rockstead, etc.

Characteristics of San Mai steel: These are different types of metals bonded together to create a composite that contains and intensifies the strengths of the metals individually taken:

Japanese laminated steel

- Longer tool life
thanks to the use of very high quality steels with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the heart of the slab (Core Steel), the blade, once hardened, achieves decidedly hardness and cutting performance higher than those achieved with the use of traditional steels.

- Greater resilience
built with the principle of Japanese swords, multilayer steel is difficult to break thanks to the toughness of central steel (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the steel used for the side cladding (Stainless Steel).

- Better corrosion resistance
the steel used for the outer layers (Stainless Steel) guarantees the blade a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates a galvanic structure that improves corrosion resistance even on the wire.

- Easy processing even after heat treatment
although normally the steel becomes harder after hardening, the lateral steel used in multilayer processing does not lose its softness and allows easy processing, drilling or welding even after heat treatment. For an optimal performance of the blade, a cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improvement of aesthetic performance
Knives made with multi-layer steel or with damask patterns at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.
