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.

With the new Charlie generation, designer Dietmar Pohl continues the successful series of minimalist and extremely durable knives. Whether for everyday use or as an ultra-flat reserve knife for outdoor activities, the new Charlie Two covers a wide range of applications.

The modern Spear Point blade and handle of the Charlie Two are made of 6-millimeter thick D2 tool steel, which gives the knife a level of strength and edge retention. The Stonewashed finish creates a scratch-resistant surface and increases the blade's corrosion resistance.

Using CNC technology, all details are elaborately milled on the handle specially designed for the new Charlie series. The rounded tang and grooved areas for the index finger and thumb ensure a comfortable and secure grip. 

The Charlie Two comes with a sturdy, high-quality black Kydex sheath. The Tac-Clip belt adapter, which can be mounted in various positions, allows flexible and secure carrying.

Satre is a fixed blade knife of small dimensions, light and extremely resistant. Given its characteristics, it can be used in a wide range of disciplines and uses ranging from survival activities, bushcraft or as an element of an EDC (Every Day Carry) kit.

It has been designed in collaboration with Daniele Dal Canto, Master Advanced F.I.S.S. (Federazione italiana survival sportivo e sperimentale) instructor.

In Neck Knife mode, through the use of a 550 paracord lanyard, it is possible to hold it around the neck keeping the knife vertical with the handle facing downwards. The metal eyelets on the sheath, made of pre-shaped Kydex, allow the application of both the lanyard and the accessory holder.

The full-tang skeleton structure, allows to personalize the knife using the Paracord as a coating for the handle.

The Stone Washed version uses Böhler N690 heat treated to 58 HRC. This material is chosen for its ability to resist oxidation, the durability of the edge and above all the reliability it has shown over the years.

Intended Use: Neck Knife / Hiking / Utility

Type of production: industrial

DMP is a multi-role knife characterized by a strong versatility of use thanks to the small dimensions. The blade, drop point shape with reinforced tip, is particularly useful for heavy duty use. The full flat rounding gives excellent cutting characteristics.

The sheath is minimalist, stripped of most of the fabric adopting a retention system of 2nd level, going to recall the style of the model to which it is inspired. The main shell is made by injection in shockproof nylon. The secondary retention system is reversible for the ambidextrous portability of the knife.

Japanese steel merges with Italian excellence

For this 2021 collaboration, exclusive to Coltelleria Collini, we have decided to propose a series of best sellers produced by Extrema Ratio. Knives made with the famous San Mai steel produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel. Specifically we have used the carbonaceous V-Toku2 at 62/63HRC for the central plate and the stainless SUS410 for the two external plates, in order to guarantee a very high cutting capacity, penetration and edge holding together with an easy resharpening and maintenance but at the same time the blade has a remarkable resistance to corrosion and an important increase of resilience given by the type of extreme steel and the laminated structure.

Intended Use: Neck Knife / Collector's Knife

Type of production: Industrial
Country of Production: Italy
Blade / Handle: Full, laminated Japanese steel (San Mai) with V-Toku2 (carbonaceous) cutting edge at 62/63HRC and SUS410 (stainless steel) outer cheeks
Blade finish: Satin finish
Blade length: 40mm.
Blade thickness: 3mm.
Total length: 129mm.
Weight: 55g.
Sheath: Kydex, for neck.
Packaging: Cardboard box with Extrema Ratio logos.
Notes: Numbered edition - cardboard box with Extremaratio logos and certificate - the central core of the blade and handle is made of carbon steel so it is recommended to wash/dry the knife very well after each use and protect the steel, during storage, with a light surface of lubricant to avoid rust and oxidation.

As in the ancient swords of the Japanese Samurai.

The rolled steel - imported in 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. As early as 1100, expert Japanese blacksmiths combined different materials to give Katana swords incredible cutting capabilities combined with previously unknown strength and flexibility. It is thanks to this revolutionary construction technique that the Samurai swords have been preserved until our days 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: It is made of different types of metals alloyed together to create a composite that contains and intensifies the strengths of the metals individually taken:

- Longer cutting edge life
thanks to the use of high quality steels with a high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the core steel, the blade, once hardened, reaches hardness and cutting performance decidedly superior to those achieved with the use of traditional steels.

- Greater resilience
Built on the principle of Japanese swords, the 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).

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

- Easy machining even after heat treatment
Although steel normally becomes harder after hardening, the lateral steel used in multilayer machining does not lose its softness and allows easy machining, drilling or welding even after heat treatment. For optimum blade performance, cryogenic treatment is recommended.

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

Takeshi Saji è nato nel 1948 a Takefu (prefettura di Fukui), una città situata all'incirca nel centro del Giappone e nel cuore di una zona da secoli votata alla produzione di lame. Il suo laboratorio è ancora lì, costruito intorno al forno grazie al quale, ormai da parecchi anni, Takeshi Saji forgia l'acciaio (soprattutto damasco) con cui realizza vari modelli di coltelli tradizionali giapponesi. La scelta dei materiali per le finiture (prevalentemente naturali), le linee essenziali - evocatrici dell'utilizzo - e gli accostamenti cromatici di raro impatto rendono le sue realizzazioni uniche e inconfondibili nel panorama della coltelleria mondiale e, in patria, gli sono valse il prestigioso titolo di Maestro.

Il kiridashi è uno strumento a metà tra un coltello e un taglierino dai molteplici utilizzi. La particolarità del Kiridashi è data dalla bisellatura asimmetrica: uno solo dei due lati è affilato mentre l'altro resta piatto.
