details:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>A good look round the Torino &#8211; Things to look out for here are:<\/b><br \/>\nUsing red, high visibility, milled G10 for the handles and a reverse-skeletonised design to reduce weight gives a very distinctive look to the Torino (even before you see the blade).<br \/>\nA black PVD coated pocket clip can be fitted on either side or removed completely.<br \/>\nThe Polyhedral Tungsten Carbide blade&#8217;s raw TC finish adds further to the distinctiveness of this knife combined with the fact the Torino&#8217;s blade is super slim at a maximum of only 1.2mm thick!<br \/>\nSandrin Knives have used a Recoil Lock for the Torino with a sliding back spacer lock lever on the back of the handle.<br \/>\nPTC, being super-hard at HRC 71, gives the Torino&#8217;s blade a very different look on the primary and edge bevel grinds.<br \/>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-12888 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-12888 { --fg-gutter:

color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>Explained by the Maker:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>With the unique material used for this knife blade, I&#8217;m including the manufacturer&#8217;s own description here for ease of reference.<\/p>\n<p><i>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\u2122. New for Torino is the blade\u2019s raw carbide finish &#8211; 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\u2019s thumb ramp features carefully executed jimping, while the rest of the spine and finger choil is chamfered for comfort.<\/p>\n<p>Torino\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>High-visibility red G-10 handles provide for quick acquisition in emergency situations. Stylized pockets serve to both reduce weight and add tactile feel for positive grip engagement. A reversible titanium pocket clip enables right- or left-hand carry and features our Fibonacci hole sequence design, a distinctive mathematical trademark of Sandrin Knives.<\/p>\n<p>At only 2.29 ounces, Torino is so lightweight it practically disappears in your pocket. And, with a blade length of 2.95 inches, it\u2019s also legal to carry in most jurisdictions.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>The Factory edge up close:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Followers of Tactical Reviews will know my views on factory edges, but to recap:<\/p>\n<p>Anyone using a knife will need to sharpen it. That first factory edge is just like the first tank of fuel that a new car comes with (or first charge of the battery).<br \/>\nA good factory edge is a &#8216;nice to have&#8217; but not a &#8216;make or break&#8217; for a good knife, as you will be putting your own edge onto it soon enough.<br \/>\nThe factory edge does however indicate the care a knife maker has put into the final finish.<br \/>\nIt is for this reason Tactical Reviews measures factory edge sharpness and specifications, and includes this information in the detailed technical testing.<\/p>\n<p>As a further look at the factory edge, this section has been added to include some high magnification photos of the factory edges.<\/p>\n<p>The magnified images of the edge show the Torino&#8217;s blade&#8217;s different look. They also show what appears to be a micro-serration from the grinding process, which aids the cutting ability of this special material.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-12898 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-12898 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-m-col2 fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-12898\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-01.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12899\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin-Torino-Edge-01\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-01\/1196493685.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-02.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12900\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin-Torino-Edge-02\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-02\/1705973779.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-03.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12901\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin-Torino-Edge-03\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-03\/201281132.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-04.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12902\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin-Torino-Edge-04\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-04\/1027979799.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-05.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12903\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin-Torino-Edge-05\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-Edge-05\/1393945704.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>What is it like to use?<\/b><br \/>\nOne of the most noticeable features of the Sandrin Knives Torino when you use it is the super-slim, super-slicey blade. The sharpness measurements for the factory edge, are in this case more important than most knives, as I suspect the PTC blade may be difficult to sharpen, and will almost certainly want diamond sharpeners.<br \/>\nSandrin have supplied the Torino super sharp with the very impressive average BESS measurement of 165. I tend to sharpen a knife to less than 200 BESS, so this is sharper than my normal target sharpness.<br \/>\nActually with it being so so hard, I&#8217;ve not yet worn the edge enough to want to sharpen it, so this aspect of using the PTC blade is to come later.<br \/>\nIt certainly is lightweight and easy to carry.<br \/>\nThe jimping on the spine of the blade is useful, but with the blade being only 1.2mm thick, I find it quickly becomes uncomfortable to apply a lot of force directly onto the blade spine.<br \/>\nWith the forward placed finger groove, choking up on the blade is natural and makes finer work really accurate.<br \/>\nFor me, the only aspect that lets the Torino down somewhat is the spring pressure on the recoil lock combined with the finish on the lock lever &#8211; together these make unlocking with the pad of your thumb uncomfortable and not entirely reliable. I find I tend to have to curl my finger or thumb over and use my nail to get sufficient purchase to release the lock. If the lock bar protruded a little more and the spring pressure was slightly less, I think this would come together nicely.<br \/>\nHowever, that said, the recoil lock does allow the Torino to remain slim and gives a reliable lock-up.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-12904 .fg-image { width: 150px; }\n#foogallery-gallery-12904 { --fg-gutter: 10px; }<\/style>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"foogallery foogallery-container foogallery-default foogallery-lightbox-foobox fg-center fg-m-col2 fg-default fg-ready fg-dark fg-border-thin fg-round-medium fg-loading-default fg-loaded-fade-in fg-caption-hover fg-hover-fade fg-hover-zoom fg-no-js\" id=\"foogallery-gallery-12904\" data-foogallery=\"{&quot;item&quot;:{&quot;showCaptionTitle&quot;:true,&quot;showCaptionDescription&quot;:true},&quot;lazy&quot;:true,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;src&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;srcset&quot;}\" style=\"--fg-title-line-clamp: 0; --fg-description-line-clamp: 0;\" >\n\t<div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-11-in-hand-P1007734.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12905\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin Torino 11 in hand P1007734\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-11-in-hand-P1007734\/3497397576.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-12-in-hand-P1007737.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12906\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin Torino 12 in hand P1007737\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-12-in-hand-P1007737\/577604055.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-13-in-hand-P1007739.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12907\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin Torino 13 in hand P1007739\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-13-in-hand-P1007739\/476833073.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-14-in-hand-P1007741.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12908\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin Torino 14 in hand P1007741\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-14-in-hand-P1007741\/3528689719.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fg-item fg-type-image fg-loading\"><figure class=\"fg-item-inner\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-15-in-hand-P1007745.jpg\" data-attachment-id=\"12909\" data-caption-title=\"Sandrin Torino 15 in hand P1007745\" data-type=\"image\" class=\"fg-thumb\"><span class=\"fg-image-wrap\"><img src=\"https:\/\/tacticalreviews.co.uk\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/cache\/2024\/02\/Sandrin-Torino-15-in-hand-P1007745\/2106980377.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"skip-lazy fg-image\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/span><span class=\"fg-image-overlay\"><\/span><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"fg-loader\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<hr color=\"#333333\"><\/hr>\n<p><b>Review Summary<\/b><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this summary table are from the point of view of the reviewer\u2019s personal use.
