Japanese steel blends with Italian excellence

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

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 tool life

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 on 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 facing (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, on a galvanic level, a structure that improves corrosion resistance even on the wire.

- Easy processing even after heat treatment
although the steel normally becomes harder after hardening, the side 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 damascus pattern at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.

The shape of the Chinese blade with a new look and in WÜSTHOF quality: the Chai Dao combines the shape of a Santoku with that of a Chinese cutting knife. However, it adopts not only the shape but also the functionality of the two models. Thanks to the slightly curved shape of the blade, the Chai Dao is suitable for both cutting and shredding, especially for a fluid rock cut. Since this knife is particularly finely ground towards the cutting edge, it should not be used for cutting bones; instead we recommend our European cleaver or butcher's knife.

- 14 cm blade

Handles: made of synthetic material and joined with a triple riveting ensure a perfect seal, excellent stability and guarantee dishwasher safe.
The Blades: are obtained using the best steels and combining the most qualified elements (chromium 15% - carbon 0.5% - molybdenum - vanadium).
The realization of a WUSTHOF forged knife requires the passage of about 40 processing cycles.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance prolongs the life of the knife, makes work easier and safer and reduces the consumption of the wire. Some advices:

- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher bump other objects; the blades could be damaged.

- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).

- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

The WUSTHOF knives sold by us are personally checked and further sharpened, in order to guarantee you the certainty of an excellent purchase.

All Wusthof products we sell are indelibly silk-screened with the Coltelleria Collini logo (as shown in the image). This marking guarantees the purchaser to have the certainty of quality, traceability, guarantee over the years and a future privileged assistance on the product purchased from Coltelleria Collini.

The WÜSTHOF Performer Knife series proves its worth with every use: exceptional quality for very high performance. The ultra-hard blade, coated in diamond-like carbon (DLC) guarantees low friction and perfect sliding of the blade during cutting. The non-slip honeycomb structure of the Hexagon Power Grip guarantees extreme control. This knife will win you over for a lifetime!

The cut of the Performer knives flows through the food with almost no friction. Thanks to the particularly low friction, the non-stick properties of the diamond-like coating and the lotus effect of the black surface, the particles simply roll off the blade. Freshly cut pieces of food, such as slices of an onion, slip away: an ideal situation when speed and precision are required in moments of intense activity in the kitchen.

Thanks to the hydrophobic effect, all liquids flow away, including citrus acids, as well as fats or starches from potatoes.
The DLC was originally employed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife.
USE: vegetables, meat, fish
FEATURES:

- Diamond-like carbon coating increases surface hardness to 104 Rockwells
- Thanks to this coating, the knife glides effortlessly through the food
- Newly developed Hexagon Power Grip with anti-slip honeycomb structure
- Forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF stainless steel
- Forged in Solingen, Germany

Diamond-like carbon coated blade for extreme performance.

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade, being extremely hard and durable, is the highest quality in the knife market. The almost magical black coating increases the surface hardness of WÜSTHOF steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell.

For connoisseurs, this means a significant benefit in terms of performance: its extreme robustness makes it practically immune to adverse external effects and the diamond surface is also extremely heat resistant.

The DLC was originally developed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife with holder.

The knife is very original, the blade recalls that of the grafting knife, a well-known traditional knife from Maniago.

The "Extrema Ratio Sethlans" is a fixed blade work knife created to face a wide range of situations, suitable for survival, bushcraft, prepping, but also as a backup blade. The Sethlans is available in two versions with two different types of steel.

Stone Washed version that uses Böhler N690 heat treated at 58 HRC, chosen for the reliability it has shown over the last 20 years due to its resistance to oxidation and durability of the wire.

The knife comes with G10 grips that feature the ergonomic design characteristic of Extrema Ratio handles. They can be removed by releasing the skeletonized structure of the knife, which allows maximum lightness with minimum thickness. For lovers of extreme customization, the full-tang structure allows the handle to be covered with a paracord cord.

The sheath is composed of a part in very light and minimalist Kydex. It can be disassembled and can be adapted for both left and right handed users. The addition of an optional belt clip allows the knife to be positioned both vertically and horizontally and makes the sheath much more versatile than the textile version.
