    PUGIO: The name evokes the historic Roman dagger, but the handle, with its tapered cuttlebone-like shape, also recalls the elegance of Caucasian daggers.

The blade, sharpened only on one side, ensures lethal accuracy, while the absence of guards prevents any risk of entanglement in close, high-intensity combat.

    Japanese steel meets Italian excellence

    For this 2020 collaboration, exclusively for Coltelleria Collini, we decided to offer a series of best sellers produced by Extrema Ratio. These knives are made using the renowned San Mai steel produced by Japan’s Takefu Steel. Specifically, we used carbon-rich V-Toku2 at 62/63HRC for the central core and stainless SUS410 for the outer layers, resulting in superior cutting performance, penetration, edge retention, ease of sharpening, and at the same time excellent corrosion resistance and increased resilience due to the laminated structure.

    Model Col Moschin Compact: this First Production Run was limited to 15 numbered units, from 1 to 15.

    The lethal efficiency of the COL MOSCHIN knife, now in compact version. Comes with a rigid belt sheath and BELT-CLIP. The sheath can be mounted horizontally, vertically, or at a 45° angle.

    Usage: tactical, sports, hiking, collecting

    Blade: full tang, laminated Japanese steel (San Mai) with cutting edge in V-Toku2 (carbon steel) at 62/63HRC and outer cheeks in SUS410 (stainless)
    Handle: Forprene
    Blade length: 110mm
    Blade thickness: 6.5mm
    Overall length: 212mm
    Balance: 0.5cm behind the guard
    Weight: 209g
    Sheath: ABS with multi-position Tek-Lok attachment
    Notes: Numbered edition - cardboard box with Extrema Ratio logos and certificate - as the cutting edge is carbon steel, it is recommended to lightly oil the blade to maintain its condition.

    As in ancient Japanese Samurai swords.

    The laminated steel – imported into Italy by Collini Steel directly from Japan’s Takefu Steel – is based on the age-old Japanese sword-making tradition. As early as the 1100s, Japanese blacksmiths were combining different metals to craft Katana swords with extraordinary cutting power, resistance, and flexibility. This revolutionary technique allowed Samurai swords to survive through centuries and become among the most fascinating human-made artifacts. Applied to modern metallurgy, this tradition now yields advanced steels already used in knife-making by brands like Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Mcusta, Kai, Sog, Zwilling, Rockstead, etc.

    San Mai Steel Features: A combination of different metals bonded together to create a composite with amplified properties:

    - Greater edge retention
    Thanks to high-carbon premium steels (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or powder steels (SPG2) in the core, once hardened, the blade achieves cutting performance far superior to traditional steels.

    - Higher resilience
    Based on Japanese sword construction, the multi-layer steel is highly resistant to breaking due to the toughness of the core and flexibility of the stainless cladding.

    - Improved corrosion resistance
    The outer stainless layers ensure high corrosion resistance. Takefu’s multi-metal bonding also enhances galvanic protection of the edge.

    - Easy processing post heat-treatment
    Despite being hardened, the outer layers retain softness, allowing easy drilling, grinding, or welding. Cryogenic treatment is recommended for optimal performance.

    - Enhanced aesthetics
    Multi-layer or Damascus-patterned knives are elegant, refined, and highly valued by collectors worldwide.
