This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
Myto Old Black Titanium, PVD + Stone Washed a high-tech Hi-Tech folder with a durable frame-lock and liners in Old Black, titanium coating aging finish. An exceptional E.D.C. knife by the Italian LionSteel manufactory. Features M390 sintered steel blade, "ReF" fin on the underside of the blade, Double Crown ball bearing system and titanium clip. Comes with LionSteel Hand (#HY 68), Torx T6, Torx 8 adjustment wrench along with Hex wrench for glass breaker screw.
Design by Molletta, result of a collaboration with a well-known and respected designer with many years of experience. Michele Pensato (a.k.a. Molletta), is distinguished by a new approach to the use of materials and experiments in the application of heat treatment and the use of advanced software in the design of knives.
M390 Microclean® - head made of the highest quality modern powder steel with extremely high corrosion and abrasion resistance. High chromium steel with a doping of vanadium with a hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured in Böhler-Uddeholm, Austria.
PVD + Stone Washed - durability of blade surface and cutting edge was increased by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) method consisting in deposition of thin layers from gas phase and then subjected to Stone Washed finish masking minor scratches. Applied coating has a very high hardness, which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to abrasive wear.
Blade - Drop point with a pronounced belly of the blade provides excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The Plain blade has a Flat Grind that perfectly showcases the matte black PVD + Stone Washed finish.
ReF - (Removable Flipper System) located on the underside of the head projection / flipper fin assisted by Double Crown makes it easy to open the blade with one hand. It consists of a small lever (projection) protruding beyond the back of the handle when the head is closed. In the open position the protrusion acts as a hilt, protecting the hand against slipping on the blade. In the folder it is possible to unscrew the Removable Flipper System lever (unscrew the flipper fin and then insert the second screw located in the box) and open the blade with both hands. This is important in countries where there is a ban on using knives with one hand opening blades in public places.
Double Crown - Double Crown ball bearing system is an evolution of the standard mechanism. It improves blade rotation, allows faster, even smoother blade opening and keeps the blade stable in a straight line.
Handle - Old Black facings of double milled solid titanium 6AI-4V, attached to a titanium spacer called backspacer / facings connector. Solid® titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. The clip is bolted to the titanium frame with a tungsten carbide screw/glass striker. There is a lanyard hole in the back of the linings, a hole for a cord.
Set includes:
- Myto Old Black Titanium folder
- HY 68 wrench
- additional screw for flipper
