Foco and Ultrafoco aren't on the Columbus site anymore, but there might be some still lying around. As far as I know, it was Columbus' answer to Reynolds 853. It's very similar in weight

It's been replaced by the 2 light niobium steels, Spirit and Life, and Columbus also still offers Zona, which is kinda like the old Genius and Nemo
