I had a couple of these knives since several weeks, so decided to try out one of them this WE
The Collini Forum Knife is a knife designed by a small group of members of Collinis knives forum few months ago (I was in the bunch), than realized by Coltellerie Fantoni (100 pieces).
Here you had the link to Collinis webpage, with the related infos about this knife
http://www.coltelleriacollini.it/cg...a1903cb9f0a2718c348d401066c/Product/View/9025
The CFK comes with a leather sheath
Here the specs about the knife
The sheath is well done, also its retain the knife safely
On the spine of the blade a smooth, long knurling
So far on the back of the blade
The lanyard hole
The false edge
Each piece is numbered, I had the figure 47 of 100 and 22 of 100
The CFK has micarta handles, oval shaping
Wearing the knife
Lets go out
As per all my knives, I use an orange lanyard
Light chopping: the CFK is not a chopper, but its long and thin enough to cut small branches with no problems
Same reason, cleaning this branch its easy enough
Lets to prepare a simple Single Snare Trap
Here a footage

Many walnuts on the woods today
Lets continue the day after
Remembering an interesting post here on BCUK, note that here in Italy the TV satellite dishes are oriented directely on South direction (Hotbird/Eutelsat satellite)
Carving woods with the CFK, easy
On the woods again
Some ligth chopping on acacia trees
Now realizing a Platform Trap with the CFK
Here a footage

The CFK at the end of this small test
This knife is well realized, its light, its a cutter, has a good handle, its manouvreable. My test lacks on batoning, serious chopping, skinning, testing the knifes point. For carving, light chopping, traps prep, the CFK was good enough for me.

Note: trapping animals is forbidden here in Italy. Traps showed on this post are just to show how they works, and were destroyed just after the footage.
