Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna. Excellent reproduction of one of the most iconic knives ever: the classic Bowie. A knife created by Rezin Bowie in the early 19th century for his brother Jim Bowie, the famous American pioneer whose rather reckless life is now shrouded in legend.

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.

Company information:

"In our laboratory in Bresso (MI) there are two of us working: Simone and Gabriella, a couple born in 1996.
Bevels and tempering are carried out by us personally, using special machinery such as belt sanders and tempering ovens. For the finishes, on the other hand, we use files and sandpaper with which we make our satin and polishing of blades and handles by hand.
In the case of more complex coatings such as pvd in this case, we turn to specialized companies.
For the handles we prefer carbon guards and stabilized wood that we work following our design and the geometries that characterize us.
Once the knife is finished we take care of the sheath, also made and sewn completely by hand in leather.
What we offer is a handcrafted product followed in all its phases and which can both be appreciated for its lines and used as a tool"

The Kudu Hunter fixed-blade knife offers an excellent balance between form and function: the wide drop point blade is reminiscent of its predecessor model Harpoon, but without the dedicated thumb rest. The handle is extremely comfortable for different types of grips, and its shape does not cause fatigue during long periods of use. The Kydex scabbard has a Kydex belt loop that allows you to switch between normal belt carry and scout carry, right or left handed, with ease. This is truly an excellent "all-around" design by Andre.

Informazioni sull'azienda:

"Nel nostro laboratorio di Bresso (MI) siamo in due a lavorare: Simone e Gabriella, una coppia classe 96.
Bisellature e tempre vengono realizzate da noi personalmente, utilizzando macchinari appositi come levigatrici a nastro e forni da tempra. Per le finiture invece utilizziamo lime e carte vetrate con le quali realizziamo a mano le nostre satinature e lucidature di lame e manici.
Nel caso di rivestimenti più complessi come in questo caso il pvd, ci rivolgiamo ad aziende specializzate.
Per i manici prediligiamo le guardie in carbonio e il legno stabilizzato che lavoriamo seguendo il nostro design e le geometrie che ci caratterizzano.
Una volta terminato il coltello ci occupiamo del fodero, anch'esso realizzato e cucito completamente a mano in cuoio.
Quello che offriamo è un prodotto artigianale seguito in tutte le sue fasi e che possa sia essere apprezzato per le sue linee, sia essere utilizzato come strumento"
