Passion for knives

With this exclusive edition of Coltelleria Collini in collaboration with Fox we have chosen to match a model with a particular design like the Yaru with a Japanese powder (sintered) and rolled steel (SanMai) by Takefu Steel. 

For this project we chose to use the Super Gold2 (SPG2) steel at 62/63HRC for the cutting edge of the blade in order to guarantee exceptional cutting performance and sharpening durability, while at the same time ensuring a remarkable resilience and resistance to oxidation due to the blade lamination process.

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.

- Longer cutting edge life
thanks to the use of high quality steels with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the core steel, the blade, once hardened, reaches hardness and cutting performances definitely higher than those reached 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.

Notes: Design by Dmitry Sinkevich - Opening KVT on ball bearings - opening via Carson Flipper system

The Zero Tolerance 0808BLU, with blue-anodized handle, is a sprint run built in a limited quantity.

The 0808 is a collaboration between ZT and custom knifemaker Todd Rexford and is based on his Cesium model. It features advanced-formula stainless steel and ZT’s smooth-as-silk KVT opening system. The 0808’s blade is built of Crucible S35VN stainless steel. This powdered metallurgy steel is extremely fine-grained so it can be sharpened to a razor edge. Added niobium and nitrogen enhance toughness to resist chipping and provide excellent edge retention. Yet it’s also easy to re-sharpen.

Opening is fast and simple with KVT. Caged ball bearings surround the pivot to make the blade quick and easy to open using the built-in flipper. With KVT, the 0808 is as easy to open as any assisted knife, but without the need for a spring.

The 0808GLD’s blade is paired with chamfered titanium handles that provide a solid, comfortable grip. The sturdy frame lock has a hardened steel lockbar insert to offer extra-secure, extra-solid blade lock up. The reversible pocketclip enables you to carry comfortably left- or right-handed.

This blue-anodized edition of the 0808, the 0808BLU, is a sprint run. Quantities are limited. Check with your local ZT dealer for availability.
