Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
The Silca Italian Army Knife Tredici is a 13-function cycling multi-tool with forged, double-chromed steel bits and rare-earth magnets embedded in the aluminum sidebars to hold a spare chain-master-link in place. Silca was founded in 1917 in Milan by Felice Sacchi and was the first company to put a pressure gauge on a bicycle pump and to produce high-pressure frame pumps for European professional racing; it has been owned and operated from Indianapolis since Josh Poertner acquired the brand in 2013. The Tredici's functions include 2 to 8mm hex keys, T25 and T30 Torx, a Phillips driver, and a chain breaker. The tool retails for $45; the SS23 Supreme collab sells the same unit in a red box-logo colorway at $58.
About Silca
Silca is an Italian-American cycling tool manufacturer founded in 1917 by Felice Sacchi in Milan. The company was the first to fit pressure gauges to bicycle pumps and the first to produce a high-pressure frame pump, and Sacchi's Impero and Pista floor pumps became standard equipment in professional cycling for decades. By 2013, Silca was the oldest continually family-owned company in the bicycle industry. That year Claudio Sacchi, Felice's grandson, sold the company to former Zipp technical director Josh Poertner, who relocated manufacturing to Indianapolis and expanded the range into chain lubes, waxes, and precision tools. Supreme released a co-branded Silca Pista floor pump.
