Folding knife made according to specifications requested by the Italian Army unit 185th RAO (Regiment for Target Acquisition) and currently in service with the same unit. The service version differs from the civilian one only by the complete absence of writings or logos on the blade.
HISTORICAL NOTES ON THE UNIT:
The 185th RAO of the "Folgore" is a unit with ancient traditions, yet relatively new in its current form. It was established on 3 April 2000 following the reorganization of the 185th Paratroopers Artillery Regiment. Based in Livorno, it is an atypical artillery unit currently included within the Special Forces framework.
Composed entirely of volunteer personnel, the 185th RAO selects its members through physical tests and a qualification course structured in modules of increasing difficulty. The tasks assigned to RAO operators are numerous and highly sensitive: they involve gathering information on enemy targets and relaying it to command. More generally, this can be described as reconnaissance in sensitive areas.
"It is therefore clear," the Army emphasizes, "that the activity of the acquisition operator takes place mainly in hostile territory, in small self-sufficient teams operating in isolation."
RAO paratroopers are specialists in infiltration and exfiltration techniques and are able to operate in the field for up to 8–10 days without external resupply. They know how to avoid capture, escape and evade from enemy-controlled areas and, above all, how to identify, define and assess strategically relevant targets. Since 2002, the year of its reorganization, detachments of the 185th Regiment have operated in all major operational theaters: from the Balkans to Afghanistan and Iraq. In these areas they mainly carry out medium- and long-range reconnaissance and surveillance activities within the area of responsibility of the Italian contingent.

Sobral Brothers / CAS Knives - 8" Andes Fighter Bowie San-Mai - PRIVATE COLLECTION - handmade knife
KNIFE WITHDRAWN FROM PRIVATE COLLECTION
* Origin: Withdrawn from a private collection, previously purchased
* Condition: Never used, never removed from its sheath, never displayed; as it is a carbon blade and has remained in its sheath for a long time, it has unfortunately developed small spots of oxidation on the blade, which can be easily removed with a potential re-sharpening. However, it is not possible to remove the oxidation present on the passivating oxidation of the hamon. The price at which it is offered takes into account these aesthetic details, which in no way compromise its potential practical use.
* Available on the market: unique piece, entirely handmade
* Sharpening: Factory
* Marks on blade: small spots of oxidation, some potentially removable (those on the edge and tip of the blade)
* Marks on handle: None
* Box: Sold with burgundy velvet case
* Sheath: Like new, never used and never worn

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-RUAST -
