Note:

The Smilodon, commonly known as the saber-toothed tiger, was an extinct large feline that lived during the Pleistocene, between 2.5 million and 10,000 years ago. It was a member of the felid family and was distinguished by its unique features, particularly its huge saber-shaped upper canines.

The Smilodon was larger than present-day tigers, with a length of about 1.6-1.8 meters and a height at withers of about 1 meter. Its weight could range from 200 to 400 kilograms. The Smilodon's most distinctive feature were its upper canines, which could reach a length of more than 20 centimeters. These canines were extremely sharp and adapted for grasping and stinging prey. Smilodon is believed to have been a specialized predator, hunting large mammals such as Pleistocene herbivores. Its hunting technique was probably based on a powerful pounce and the use of its canines to maul the throat of prey. It is likely that its powerful bite was capable of severely damaging the bones of its victims.

Despite its impressive appearance, Smilodon was not closely related to present-day tigers, but represented a separate evolutionary branch. It is thought to have become extinct due to climate change and the disappearance of its main prey at the end of the Pleistocene.

Exclusive knife in entirely handcrafted "Comix" coloration, part of a batch of products made especially for the Atlanta 2023 Blade Show.

"Comix" type coloring refers to a coloring technique used in comic books and illustrations that is inspired by the style of traditional comic books. This style of coloring often features flat, bright colors with sharp edges between different shades. Some hallmarks of comix-type coloring include:

Flat backgrounds: Areas of solid color are applied without shading or complex tonal gradations. This gives a more "clean" and stylized look to the image.

Sharp edges: The borders between different shades of color are often marked by black or dark contour lines. These lines define the boundaries of the various elements in the image and accentuate the contrast between the different colors.

Bright colors: In comix-type coloring, bright, saturated colors are often used to create visual impact. These colors can be used to distinguish characters or to emphasize certain elements of the image.

Simplified shading: Although comix-type coloring may include shadows and highlights to add depth, these are often simplified compared to other coloring techniques. Shadows may be represented by areas of darker color or simple lines or brush strokes.

Graphic effects: Some elements of graphic effects, such as dots or speed lines, can be used to accentuate action or movement in illustrations.

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.

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.

Review by Alessandra De Santi

From collector to author of reviews, to designers: the step was short for Claudio Colombo who, in a short time, decided to put his passion and experience to use by designing his own knife, the Kobura.
Inspired by the kiridashi, the Kobura (cobra in Japanese) revisits the essential lines of what was originally a typical Japanese instrument used to carve wood, but also a small daily utility knife used (especially by children) to tip pencils , cut paper, ropes, etc.

The Kobura, an EDC with an aggressive and appealing appearance, is made of D2 steel hardened to 59-61 HRC; the knife is equipped with a short chisel blade (61 mm) and extremely robust (thickness 5.5 mm). On the back there is a practical anti-slip knurling for the thumb. On the side without bevel is the Valknut, a Norse symbol used as the logo of TheFence.

TheFence is a team of shooting instructors with different specialties and experiences. Claudio attended courses with Rob Pincus (of which he is one of the two instructors in Italy), Gabriel Suarez and Scott Reitz (formerly L.A. Swat and instructor); one of the partners is an Active Shooters Response instructor, and another one has deepened Israeli techniques.

In collaboration with Tactical Wander we decided to bring them light utility, the Lynx model, in an exclusive satin-blade version that uses the famous Japanese Steel San Mai produced by Takefu Steel. Specifically, we used, for the central plate, the CoS to 61,5HRC (Cobalt Special, considered mechanically superior by 25% compared to the already much appreciated VG10) and 420J2 (56 HRC) for the two side plates in order to ensure high cutting capacity, but at the same time a remarkable resistance to abrasion, resilience and resistance to oxidation.
