HISTORY
The Tengu takes its name from a mythical creature of Japanese folklore that is represented with both human and raven features, they had the reputation of being great warriors and legends say that some founders of martial arts were trained by them.

- It is designed to be used in many different grips, but is especially effective in the reverse grip.
- Designed to be carried in a variety of ways, whether as a neck knife, under shirt, clipped in a pocket or around the waist using optional systems such as Ulti-Clip or Tek-Lok or various M.O.L.L.E. type attachments.
- With its thickness of 5.5 mm. is extremely robust and thanks to the shape of the handle is comfortable even by those with large hands or those who want to use it with tactical gloves.
- The blade is compact, robust and very functional for both precision cutting and hard materials thanks to the serrated part on the back. The tanto-shaped tip is very robust and optimal for engraving work.

Dino Picco, knife maker and lead designer of Wander Tactical, has created an entirely hand-made limited series of prototypes, in just 10 specimens, all different from each other, of the new Centuria fixed blade model that smoothly blends the typical design together. of ancient Roman daggers with iconic American World War II combat knives.

Japanese steel blends with Italian excellence

For this 2019/2020 collaboration, exclusive to Collini Cutlery, we have decided to offer a series of best sellers produced by Wander Tactical. Knives made with the famous San Mai steel produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel. Specifically, for the central sheet we used the carbonaceous V-Toku2 at 62 / 63HRC and the stainless SUS410 for the two external sheets, in order to guarantee a very high cutting, penetration and sealing capacity of the wire together with an ease of regrinding and maintenance but at the same time the blade has a remarkable corrosion resistance and an important increase in resilience given by the type of foreign steel and the laminated structure.

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 a 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 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 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 optimum performance of the blade, cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improvement of the aesthetic result
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.
