Japanese steel blends with Italian excellence

For this 2022 collaboration, between the Collini Cutlery of Busto Arsizio and the Fox of Maniago, we have decided to propose the 103MB Outdoor model designed by Reichart Markus. Only 18 exclusive pieces of this excellent bushcraft knife produced by Fox of Maniago were made, using for this edition the Japanese V-Toku2 steel in Sanmai 5mm produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel instead of the Niolox used in the series model.

Specifically, we used V-Toku2 carbonaceous at 62 / 63HRC for the central plate and SUS410 stainless steel for the two external plates, in order to guarantee, in addition to a beautiful aesthetic effect, a very high cutting capacity, penetration and sealing of the wire together with an ease of re-sharpening and maintenance. At the same time the blade has a remarkable resistance to corrosion and an important increase in resilience given by the type of external steel and by the laminated structure.

The Fieldcraft Knife was designed by The Brothers of Bushcraft, a group of nature activity enthusiasts. From tracking, to building shelters, the Brothers of Bushcraft are committed to training and educating people of all ages and genders to the passion of bushcraft.

The Fieldcraft Knife is the result of their knowledge and experience gained in the field; through experiences in the vast and humid rainforests, the arid and scorpion-strewn deserts and the freezing northern lands that span the Americas.

Dear Friend,
I am Paolo Bozzo and many times ml have found myself in unpleasant, pericolase and difficult situations. Designing a knife and testing it just a few afternoons in the woods is quite different than designing one trying to solve all those survival problems I have encountered in the last 25 years, both In ltaly and abroad. Mud, water, dirt, grease, blood, fatigue, night use, weak hand, limited space, trajectories, physical deficits, heat, cold, transportation, speed and much, much more...these are just some of the tests a good design must pass.

Here are some of the reasons for the WF4 Rough Wolf design.

1. Balance: it is fondamenlal that the center of gravity is shifted forward. beyond the heel, such that it decreases, i.e., saves energy when delivering the blow. one must always have the feeling that the knife falls forward.

2. Beating mass: 65% of the weight of the whole knife is between the first and second 3rd of the blade, giving maximum beating capacity in penetrating.

3. Cutting edge: due to the main core in the shape of an esse. the cutting edge is lower than the fingers of the handle, with the result that in the dynamics of the fendenle and biomechanics of the arm, the force expressed is never attenuated; especially never before the impact of the same on the object to be cut.

4. Blade height: compared to other blades, it has a significantly higher ability to dig holes.

s. Handling: excellent the ability to use the Wp4 for both coarse and precision work, this thanks to the ability to put the hand before the guard, giving absolute mastery of the blade despite its size. This is thanks to the large heel where the index finger can be inserted and the convenient thumb rest. It is also possible to do this while wearing tactical gloves.

6. Back: the inclination is reversed for 2 reasons; 1st to give forward beating mass, 2nd not to stress the wrist during use as chopping, a normal knife arrives at an angle on the object, devastating the point of impact being slight in thickness. This can only be avoided by straining the thumb-side wrist to tilt so that the back of the knife falls perpendicular on the object. The wp4 does not have this problem; it does not stress the wrist because the back of the blade already falls perpendicular to the object to be beaten.

7. Bevel: it is very high, has impressive penetration capacity.

8. Milling cutter: 5 millings placed on the blade plane for holding the knife with two hands when handling animal hides or for special uses during bushcrafting.

9. Grip: it is designed to decrease the possibility of losing the blade and avoid opening of the phalanges during pmlong use or in situations of prolonged physical deficit. Improved, anti-slip grip with internally concave Gauntlets to accommodate a Micro SurvivalKit.

As for the scabbard, I believe it is as important as the blade. I proceeded to design it and recommend its qualities; the main feature I wanted to put in designing it was the multi-positioning of the same: in particular, placing it at will on one's body or equipment facilitates the possibility of use.

This quality is particularly appreciated by military personnel, who are known to have special technical and logistical needs. For this purpose we have used in addition to Kydex the Keyblock closure, as well as the many holes along the perimeter; also safe for airdrop it has the possibility of use and positioning by both Right and Left handed operators.

PAUL BOZZO

Avi Nardia - Martial Arts Instructor
When I began teaching combat unfortunately I noticed that many teach the use of the knife in the wrong way. The knife is one of the most important tools for the man and his daily use is connected to my personal story, to my way of life, the principles learned from the teachings of my father and all the experience acquired as a teacher. So I decided to design this knife especially for my students, who have to learn that when they are alone in the woods must be able, with a single tool, to build their shelter, finding food and water, build a fire to know and meet all requirements needed to survive. My idea is with the knife KAPAP can survive and save lives in any place and at any time.
