282,38 €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.
The Flame Dagger Titanium, Stonewashed is the result of a collaboration with Michael Zieba - a respected knifemaker who combines classic inspirations with a modern approach to form and function in his designs. This EDC folder is a reinterpretation of the Italian stiletto in a utility format, maintaining its sleek lines, symmetry and aggressive character, while meeting functional requirements. The centerpiece is a dagger-type blade , made of excellent Böhler M390 steel, which ensures long sharpness retention and high corrosion resistance. The single-sided cutting edge ensures that the knife remains fully usable and legal, without losing its stylistic expression. The opening system is based on a ball bearing flipper, which translates into a dynamic and smooth unfolding of the blade. The Ti6AI4V sandblasted titanium Handle is designed for durability, rigidity and modern aesthetics. A frame lock with a hardened steel inlay secures the blade during use, and a deep carry clip allows for convenient, low-profile carrying of the folder in your pocket. It is complemented by a Cordura pouch with belt trouser - functional and refined in every detail. Flame Dagger is a choice for users who appreciate quality, design and utility elegance.
Michal Zieba - a knifemaker from Rzeszow, who went to the USA and achieved spectacular success. Zieba Knives, Michal's company specializes in the production of knives produced in short series with incredible sharpness and unique design. His knives are used by Jennifer Aniston and Sam Kass former White House chef, among others. He was the first Pole to receive the prestigious award at the 2016 Blade Show in the “Best New Maker” category. The award opened many doors for him, including collaboration with Bob Terzuola, a legend and authority on paramilitary, tactical folding knives.
M390 - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - dagger type with a clear axis of symmetry. The stonewashed finish gives the overall technical character and minimizes traces of use. The flat grind used enhances cutting precision, and the single-sided plain-type edge ensures legality and practicality in everyday use. The grain on both sides not only reduces the weight of the blade, but also enhances the aesthetic line and improves balance. Opening with a flipper works extremely smoothly thanks to ball bearings. Safety during operation is taken care of by the frame lock with reinforcement in the form of a steel inlay - a durable, precise and wear-resistant solution.
Handle - Ti6AI4V titanium grips offer high structural rigidity and resistance to wear in everyday use. The sandblasted surface provides a subtle matte aesthetic and grip without the need for additional textures. The spacer-bonded body features simplicity and elegance, while maintaining full mechanical resistance. The deep carry clip, also titanium, allows the folder to be carried discreetly without protrusions. It comes with a Cordura case with zipper and belt attachment - a refined accessory for discerning users.
