Charming knife used by the Japanese farmer.

As is typical for many agricultural tools, this Japanese knife is also extremely simple but the result of a centuries-old improvement that has found the difficult balance between form and function, and between cost and benefit.

The main feature is certainly the quality of the blade, in fact it uses a three-layer San Mai steel, of which the very hard one in the center.

It has a razor wire, as befits a tool created to cut and not just to be displayed in display cases.

NANO is the latest knife from the hi-tech family, an ideal partner for everyday activities.

The blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel with satin finish equipped with the "ReF" (Removable Flipper system) applied on the new minimal lever, Double Crown ball bearing system and Solida titanium clip.

The titanium frame locking bar is reinforced with a hardened steel insert so that the titanium part will not be worn out by the rotation of the blade over time.
The clip, CNC-milled from a single piece of titanium, is reversible so it can be attached on the opposite side for left-handed users.

The removable Flipper system allows the user to decide whether the blade should have the trigger or not, which can be installed as needed or removed and replaced with the second "cap" screw.

With this exclusive edition of Coltelleria Collini in collaboration with Fox, it was decided to combine a multi-award-winning model such as the Suru with a Japanese steel from powders (sintered) and laminated (SanMai) by Takefu Steel.

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

Notes: Opening via Carson Flipper system - Movement on ball bearings - Design by Jesper Voxnaes - Aluminum version of the SURU Carbon Fiber model, winner of the Blade Show 2018 as "Overall Knife of the Year" - Exclusive version Coltelleria Collini, Sprint Run, with Japanese stainless steel by Takefu Steel SPG2 Laminate.

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.

- 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 steel normally becomes harder after quenching, 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 damascus pattern at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.

Takeshi Saji was born in 1948 in Takefu (Fukui prefecture), a city located roughly in the center of Japan and in the heart of an area for centuries devoted to the production of blades. His workshop is still there, built around the oven thanks to which, for several years now, Takeshi Saji has been forging steel (especially damascus) with which he makes various models of traditional Japanese knives. The choice of materials for the finishes (mainly natural), the essential lines - evocative of use - and the chromatic combinations of rare impact make his creations unique and unmistakable in the panorama of world cutlery and, at home, they have earned him the prestigious title of Master.
