Sandrin Knives is a unique knife manufacturer that has managed for the first time to equip knives with high-quality blades made of tungsten carbide. This material has previously proved rather less effective due to its incredible hardness, but the special processing at Sandrin Knives now makes this possible. The Torino has an unusual abrasion resistance and unparalleled edge retention that come from the tungsten carbide. The 7.5 cm long blade can be opened via a thumb pin and is held in working position by a recoil lock. It can also be closed again with just one hand. In keeping with the name, the G10 handle scales of the Torino are red. Not only is the blade rust resistant, it is up to 20x longer sharp than knives with the best powder steels. The 65 g EDC is also armed with a sturdy pocket clip made of titanium.

Sandrin Knives is part of the Italian family business Turmond S.p.A., based in Turin, which has been dedicated to the material tungsten carbide for two generations. With their many years of experience, they have found ways to expand this remarkable material (tungsten carbide) and have been producing the most precise carbide components ever created by man ever since. The use of tungsten carbide for utility knife blades was considered impossible for a long time. Due to the extremely high degree of hardness and the associated increased sensitivity to breakage, the material in its previous form was unattractive for the knife industry until Alessandro Colombatto, owner of Turmond S.p.A., succeeded in finding an ideal composition for precisely this purpose. With a still unbelievable hardness of 71 HRC, Sandrin Knives blades are flexible, but also considerably more resistant to breakage than ceramic blades. Sandrin knives are made with the precision and expertise that only 40 years of experience in carbide grinding and the knowledge, experience and passion that has been passed down from father to son can provide. Sandrin Knives offers the finest, sharpest and most edge-holding knives the world has ever seen. As none of the gentleman's knives have a lock, none of them fall under the carrying restrictions of the German Weapons Act § 42a.
