Code: AGA02WS-DDRelated products
Product detailed description
ZERO+ Limited Edition 2026 is an exceptional automatic knife that builds upon Angelo Campolin's acclaimed line of modern Italian stilettos. Its elongated construction brings the classic Italian Leverlock design into the modern era, offering a more substantial profile while preserving the elegant lines that define this iconic style. As one of the longest production knives featuring a Leverlock mechanism, the ZERO+ appeals to collectors and enthusiasts of precision engineering alike. Limited to only 49 individually produced pieces, this exclusive edition offers outstanding collector value.
The centerpiece of the knife is its blade crafted from Super Dense Twist Damascus stainless steel. This multi-layer Damascus is created through repeated forging, folding, and twisting, producing a distinctive spiral pattern unique to every blade. Besides its striking appearance, the stainless Damascus construction provides excellent strength, impressive corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance. Since each Damascus billet develops its own individual pattern, no two knives are exactly alike.
The handle features White Storm Carbon Fiber, a premium composite combining carbon fiber with a distinctive three-dimensional visual texture. The material delivers exceptional strength while remaining lightweight, offering outstanding dimensional stability as well as excellent resistance to moisture and temperature fluctuations. The steel liners and bolsters receive a durable PVD coating, increasing surface hardness and helping protect against everyday wear. Copper-coated screws and the pocket clip create a striking contrast with the white carbon fiber and dark metallic components. The combination of Damascus steel, advanced carbon composite, and PVD-coated hardware makes the ZERO+ one of the most technologically advanced modern stilettos available today.
The automatic mechanism employs a dual-spring system, providing faster blade deployment while distributing mechanical stress between two springs to improve durability and maintain consistent operation over time. The signature reverse Leverlock mechanism allows intuitive one-handed activation, releasing the blade instantly with a single movement of the thumb. This dual-spring design represents a significant engineering enhancement, improving both deployment speed and long-term reliability.
The ZERO+ Limited Edition 2026 bears the craftsmanship of renowned Italian knifemaker Angelo Campolin, whose designs successfully combine traditional Italian stiletto manufacturing with modern materials and precision machining. Produced as an extremely limited series of only 49 pieces worldwide, each knife represents both an exclusive collector's item and an outstanding example of contemporary Italian automatic knife craftsmanship.

Angelo Campolin Sr. was born in 1923 in Maniago, Italy. Before the Second World War, he perfected his knife-making skills and at this time he produced his first switchblades. After the war, in 1947, he founded his company and produced 30 knives with the "Angelo Campolin" label. Although it was quite far away, he used to cycle to Venice to sell them. After a few years he established a partnership with Mauro Mario, who made knives for the American market for many American importers, including Rosco, C.G. Cutlery, B. Svoboda, C.C.C Cutlery and others. Also, tourists in Venice and Trieste went crazy for this ugly toy! Angelo made instruments in 38 cm and 45 cm sizes. At first they were stilettos with a picklock and later they were redesigned in the style of a revolving bolster. Campolin were the only factory to produce this size in the post-war period. Other sizes were and are made by other manufacturers. In the 1960's they began to introduce other mechanisms including the lock back style. These were first used on switchblade hunting knives and then on some stilettos. It became the most popular release mechanism for locking hunting knives.
In the 1970s, Angelo's son Gianni started working for the company and they specialized in closing hunting knives and also in handheld closing stilettos for the Robert Klaas company in Solingen, Germany with the brand Kissing Cranes. This was the beginning of Falcon Knives, which is still in business today. In 1999, Angelo Jr. started working for the company at the age of 21. He went to the United States for the first time to a knife show in Oregon, where he brought back many quality Falcon closing knives. He also had a love for switchblades and from this show and through the internet he established relationships and friendships with many American collectors. He opened his own business specializing in automatic knives. Some were made by Angelo Sr. and some by other Maniago craftsmen under exclusive contracts. This is how his company, called AKC (Automatic Knives Creations, or Angelo Knives Campolin) was formed.
In 2002, American switchblade collectors Dan Fuller, Brad West and Tim Zinser visited Maniago and enjoyed a few glasses of wine with Angelo Jr. and Gianni at the bar. They discussed a new name for some knife projects they wanted to pursue. It was Brad West who suggested that the brand name of the tang be AGA, for Angelo, Gianni, Angelo, which would represent three generations in knife making. The Campolinos liked it and it stuck. In the beginning it was just a few pieces, but it has grown to the point that there are now 12 models and different scale variations. The goal was to offer quality switchblade knives using old techniques and traditions. Being a collector himself, Angelo Jr. knows what others like.
