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.AP-RUASTJimmy Lile - 1989 Engraved Stag Skinner Model 2 - PRIVATE COLLECTION - handcrafted hunting knife

"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"LC-MJ-BCF$570.09Only 1 leftOnly 1 leftAndre De Villiers ADV - Kudu Hunter Fixed - M390 & Black G10 - knife
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.

"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"LC-MJ-BNF$570.09Only 1 leftOnly 1 leftWander Tactical - Uro Saw Marble knife - Green Micarta - craft knife

History of the Model
The Model 7 was designed as a scaled-down version of the Model 3 Hunter.
Almost immediately, the idea of a scaled-down version of the new Hunter dawned on Bo Randall as an ideal knife for his fellow anglers. An avid fisherman since his youth, Bo regarded this new knife as a labor of love and immediately set to work on the project. At first he tried 4- and 4.5-inch blades, but then opted for the 4 1/2-inch one. Bo wanted the right handle for cleaning brook trout and similar sized fish, so he reduced the size of the handle of the new Hunter and changed its shape. Naturally, he called this model the "Fisherman," and some early prototypes with 4-inch blades were delivered to some dealers during the latter part of September 1945.AP-RAND7-4VLa Cantina - Little Jones PVD custom knife - Sleipner Steel - Black Birch and Fatcarbon - handmade knife

"There are two of us working in our workshop in Bresso (MI): Simone and Gabriella, a couple from class 96.
Bevelling 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 do our hand satin finishing and polishing of blades and handles.
In the case of more complex coatings such as pvd in this case, we turn to specialised companies.
For handles, we prefer carbon guards and stabilised wood, which we process according to our design and geometries.
Once the knife is finished, we take care of the sheath, which is also made and sewn entirely by hand in leather.
What we offer is a handcrafted product that is followed in all its phases and that can both be appreciated for its lines and used as a tool".LC-LJ-FCG$657.78Out of stockDavide Ceroni - Trinidad Scorpion Custom Bali - PRIVATE COLLECTION - knife

Notes: -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.

Supplied with handmade Kydex sheath and Wander Tactical certificate - Checked and certified by our in-house Coltelleria Collini laboratory.
In collaboration with Wander Tactical we have decided to propose their new neck knife, the Raptor model, in an exclusive version with a satin blade that uses the famous Japanese San Mai steel produced by Takefu Steel. Specifically we used, for the central plate, the CoS at 61.5HRC (Cobalt Special, mechanically considered 25% higher than the already highly appreciated VG10) and the 420J2 (at 56 HRC) for the two side plates in order to guarantee a very high cutting capacity, but at the same time a remarkable resistance to abrasion, resilience and resistance to oxidation.

As in the ancient Japanese Samurai swords.The rolled 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. In fact, as early as 1100 the expert Japanese blacksmiths combined different materials together 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 Samurai swords have been preserved to this day, becoming one of the most fascinating objects made by man. Following this tradition applied to modern metallurgy, today we are 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 individually taken:
- Longer life of the cutting edge
thanks to the use of very high quality steels with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the heart of the sheet (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 the central steel (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the steel used for the side 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 steel normally 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, cryogenic treatment is recommended.- Improvement of the aesthetic result
The knives made with multi-state steel or with a damascus pattern at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.For more information: collinisteel
