Nino Morittu - Knifemaker from Silanus, Province of Nuoro

Nino Morittu creates unique knives, pieces of rare artisanal beauty designed, drawn and finished personally. Each knife is a masterpiece of exceptional craftsmanship, demonstrating his skill in the art of knifemaking. His works, regularly exhibited at various knife shows, have gained wide recognition from collectors and amateurs alike. Morittu prefers the use of C70 type steels and does not produce in large quantities, keeping each piece exclusive thanks to his meticulous artisanal method.

The precision in the details makes his knives almost perfect, testifying to a deep love for work well done. Aesthetically superb, they represent excellent craftsmanship and a passion for quality materials. Morittu's creations are exhibited in internationally renowned museums such as Albacete in Spain, Montreal in Canada, as well as in the United States and Berlin, Germany.

Renowned for his perfectionism, Morittu is often compared to Calaresu, another master knifemaker known for his attention to detail. A distinctive feature of his work is the exclusive use of "paired" horns for the handles, ensuring that there are never any visual disparities between the scales.

Knife withdrawn from private collection - Rare model no longer in production.

The Zero Tolerance 0500 model, also known as MUDD, was designed by Grant and Gavin Hawk. This knife is resistant to sand, dirt, and water thanks to the neoprene seals around the pivot and the lock.

The blade is coated in Tungsten DLC, approximately 9.2 cm long, and made of 154CM steel.

The handle is made of aluminum with textured G-10 grips, providing a solid grip.

This model was manufactured roughly between 2007 and 2009, and although the exact number of pieces produced is not known, estimates suggest a low quantity, probably between 1000 and 2500 units.

The Ti-Lock mechanism was originally designed to isolate the locking mechanism from the handle of the knife so that it can offer greater freedom of design. Totally ambidextrous, the Ti-Lock is not meant to be a mere exercise in style, but should be understood as a mechanical innovation and a solid and reliable testament to the passion of Chris Reeve and Grant and Gavin Hawk.

The design of this legendary knife was born out of the meeting of a former soldier and bodyguard to President Roosevelt, Rex Applegate, and William Ewart Fairbairn, who, together with Edward Anthony Sykes, had given birth to the progenitor of modern military fighters: the Fairbairn-Sykes that accompanied the British Commandos during World War II. In defining the forms of the new knife, the two started from the very limitations that had emerged from the wartime use of the Fairbairn-Sykes, particularly fragility, limited utility in cutting use, and the tendency of the round-section handle to rotate in the hand.

Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna. Excellent reproduction of one of the most iconic knives ever: the classic Bowie. A knife created by Rezin Bowie in the early 19th century for his brother Jim Bowie, the famous American pioneer whose rather reckless life is now shrouded in legend.

Livio Montagna's excellent craftsmanship does justice to this piece of history with its classic and timeless stylistic features: the double guard, the clip point blade, the handle in natural material.

Knife handcrafted by Master C.IC. (Corporazione Italiana Coltellinai - Italian Knife-makers Guild) Livio Montagna. Reproduction of one of the various versions of the Arkansas Toothpick, legendary frontier knife of the American 1800s. Famous, often infamous, it generally has a 30 to 50 cm blade, rather narrow and sometimes symmetrical, dagger-style. Used mainly for hunting and personal defence.

Livio Montagna's version is aesthetically very similar to the Toothpick used in Expandables 2.

The knife is distinguished by an excellent overall balance, allowing control and precision in use. The finish is of a good standard.

This limited edition Magnum Tanto style piece is based on a historical Japanese samurai sword that was popular during the Heian period (794-1185). The modified dagger-style blade, based on a design by the legendary blacksmith Amakumi, refers to the period when samurai lived the 'bushido' or 'way of the warrior'. The shape of this blade is called Kissagi-moroha and is derived from the Kogarasu-maru sword. The material of the blade is 440A stainless steel with a rich two-tone finish. The traditional handle is combined with synthetic material simulating tsuka and ray skin; the Tsuba provides a secure grip. Supplied with a genuine leather sheath and presentation box. Limited to 1,999 pieces worldwide, each serialised.

Particular knife developed with the help of experienced falconers and especially Horst Niesters in the early 1970s.
The blade was designed to chop up food for raptors and to intercept game brought back by raptors during hunting trips. In the center of the blade is a small semicircular notch that serves to signal to the falconer that the edge is sharp from the tip of the blade to that exact point; the rest of the blade is kept blunt to protect the raptors.
PUMA's falconer's knife is designed to be very handy and absolutely practical, making it a reliable companion for hunting prey.

Company History.
In 1938, Rudy Ruana began making knives in a small store in Montana. Members of his family continue to this day to handcraft Ruana knives in the same store. In 1964 Ruana's son-in-law, Vic Hangas, left a job with a telephone company and put his artistic talents to good use, joining Ruana in the business. Hangas' son Mark began working in the business in 1976. In 1983, Ruana retired at the age of 80 and sold the business to the Hangas family. In 1984 Mike Hangas joined his brother and father and the company was incorporated. Rudy Ruana died in April 1986. He was honored with posthumous induction into the American Bladesmith Society's Hall of Fame in 1997 and Blade magazine's Cutlery Hall of Fame in 2002.

Ruana knives are still handmade in the small Montana store where Rudy Ruana began forging blades more than 80 years ago. In an era of outsourcing and diminishing Made in America products, Ruana knives are still handmade in the United States, with a focus on quality rather than quantity. Although some things have changed over the years, still using the same methods and much of the same equipment used by Rudy Ruana.

History of the Model
The Model 7 was designed as a scaled-down version of the Model 3 Hunter.

Almost immediately, the idea of a scaled-down version of the new Hunter dawned on Bo Randall as an ideal knife for his fellow anglers. An avid fisherman since his youth, Bo regarded this new knife as a labor of love and immediately set to work on the project. At first he tried 4- and 4.5-inch blades, but then opted for the 4 1/2-inch one. Bo wanted the right handle for cleaning brook trout and similar sized fish, so he reduced the size of the handle of the new Hunter and changed its shape. Naturally, he called this model the "Fisherman," and some early prototypes with 4-inch blades were delivered to some dealers during the latter part of September 1945.
