The Blade

An advancement in the science of blade materials, Sandrin knives are crafted from our patented Polyhedral Tungsten Carbide (PTC), a flexible grade of tungsten carbide that outperforms steel in edge retention. Measuring HRC 71 on the Rockwell scale of hardness, Torino retains its razor-sharp edge far beyond steel knives. We call this StaySharp Technology™. New for Torino is the blade’s raw carbide finish—its striking appearance is achieved by grinding the PTC with fine diamonds. Unlike steel, the Torino blade is completely rustproof making it suitable for both fresh and saltwater conditions. The blade’s thumb ramp features carefully executed jimping, while the rest of the spine and finger choil is chamfered for comfort.

Damascus Handles

The Torino Damascus by Sandrin Knives features a stunning handle meticulously crafted from Damascus steel, showcasing the distinctive swirling patterns that make each knife truly one-of-a-kind. Hand-forged in Italy, this handle embodies a perfect blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern engineering, offering both beauty and resilience in equal measure.

Complementing the luxurious Damascus steel is a reversible titanium pocket clip, precision-machined for both right- and left-hand carry. This clip features Sandrin’s signature Fibonacci hole sequence—a unique, mathematically inspired pattern that reflects our dedication to detail and design innovation.

Weighing just 4.6 ounces, the Torino Damascus offers a satisfying, substantial grip without feeling bulky. It’s a premium everyday carry piece, thoughtfully engineered for style, balance, and legal carry in most jurisdictions with its 2.95-inch blade length.

Recoil Lock

Torino’s ceramic ball bearing action provides for a smooth opening and closing experience. A robust thumb stud provides for one handed blade deployment. But what really makes the Torino a modern marvel is a completely redesigned mechanism we call the Recoil Lock. This ingenious locking system is a gift to the knife community by knife wunderkind SNECX Tan, who refers to it as his PowerLock. Thank you, SNECX, for this remarkable innovation. The beauty of Tan’s recoil lock is the simple yet efficient design. The ambidextrous action delivers positive force (grip) to secure the blade in its rock-solid open position. Closing the knife is accomplished by sliding the backspacer to the rear, eliminating accidental blade unlock.
