ROK, part of the SOLID knife family, is made from a single piece of aluminum or titanium and introduces two major innovations. The first is the new H.WAYL System, a LionSteel patent that allows the clip to disappear inside the handle when the knife is in use, reappearing only when needed. The second is the integration of NFC technology into the packaging, which allows the user to immediately access all product information—from maintenance and the production process to content dedicated to the LionSteel brand—simply by placing their smartphone close to the packaging.

As with the TRE model, the user can remove the flipper to obtain a more traditional, two-handed blade opening. The ROK also retains the proven Rotoblock safety system and a steel tip at the end of the blade lock bar, which helps prevent breakage or wear due to contact with the blade itself.

The Demko Knives AD20.5 is a high-quality folder offered at a very competitive price. Fun to use and practical for everyday use, it owes much of its appeal to the innovative Shark Lock: a radical system that guarantees a secure blade lock, keeping your fingers safe at all times.

The mechanism is activated by pulling back the “fin” with your thumb or index finger, in a movement similar to that of a flipper opener. Once opened, the blade locks securely and the fin becomes a comfortable thumb rest, complete with jimping for superior control. Additional jimping on the back of the blade and an optional high grip further enhance the handling and versatility of this folding knife.

The AD20.5 represents the perfect balance that every EDC seeks to achieve, and will easily earn a permanent place in your pocket as soon as it enters your collection.

ROK, which is part of the SOLID knives family obtained from a single piece of aluminum or titanium, has two important innovations:

* the introduction of the new H.WAYL System; this is a LionSteel patent that allows the clip to disappear inside the handle during use of the knife. The clip can only appear when needed.

* the introduction of NFC technology in the knife box. With this system, the user no longer has to search for product information, but the knife itself makes it available: maintenance instructions, in-depth information on the production process, or more general information on LionSteel.

As was already the case for the TRE model, the user has the option of removing the flipper, thus opting for a more traditional two-handed blade opening. The ROK also features the Rotoblock safety system and a steel tip on the end of the blade lock bar: this prevents possible breakages or wear caused by the blade itself.

Knife withdrawn from a private collection - Limited edition production in Japanese CoS steel in SanMai dating back to 2018 and no longer available - In like new condition, no marks on the blade (never cut, never resharpened) or on the handle. Supplied with handmade Kydex sheath and Wander Tactical certificate - Checked and certified by our in-house Coltelleria Collini laboratory.

In collaboration with Wander Tactical we have decided to propose their new neck knife, the Raptor model, in an exclusive version with a satin blade that uses the famous Japanese San Mai steel produced by Takefu Steel. Specifically we used, for the central plate, the CoS at 61.5HRC (Cobalt Special, mechanically considered 25% higher than the already highly appreciated VG10) and the 420J2 (at 56 HRC) for the two side plates in order to guarantee a very high cutting capacity, but at the same time a remarkable resistance to abrasion, resilience and resistance to oxidation.

Use: Neck Knife / Collection

Type of production: Artisan
Production Lama: Italy
Blade: integral, in Japanese laminated stainless steel (San Mai) with cutting edge in CoS at 61.5HRC with cryogenic hardening

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 life of the cutting edge
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 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 side 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 the corrosion resistance even on the wire.

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

Japanese steel merges with Italian excellence

For this 2019/2020 collaboration, exclusive to Coltelleria Collini, we 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 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. 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.

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 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 taken individually:

- 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 damascus pattern at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.
