£210.45This 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 Black Aluminium, PVD + Stone Washed high-tech Hi-Tech folder with durable frame-lock. An exceptional E.D.C. knife by the Italian LionSteel manufactory. Features a M390 powder steel blade, "ReF" fin on the underside of the blade, Double Crown ball bearing system and titanium clip. Torx T6, Torx 8 adjustment wrench included.
Design by Molletta, fruit of a collaboration with a well-known and respected designer with 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® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its 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), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
PVD + Stone Washed - durability of the blade surface and cutting edge was increased by PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) method consisting in deposition of thin layers from the gas phase and subjected to masking minor scratches finish Stone Washed. Applied coating has a very high hardness, which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to abrasive wear.
Blade - Drop point with well-marked belly. Small thickness of the blade in combination with high, flat grind gives perfect geometry of the cutting edge and extreme cutting efficiency. Double Crown ball bearing system supports smooth operation of the opening mechanism. The entire system is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel liner protecting against wiping the lock face.
ReF - (Removable Flipper System) located on the underside of the head projection / flipper fin supported by Double Crown facilitates opening 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 there is a possibility 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 knives with one-handed opening blades in public places.
Double Crown - the 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 - black solid aluminum facings, attached to a spacer called backspacer / facings connector. Solid® titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. The clip is bolted to the frame with a tungsten carbide screw/glass striker. A flat screw is also included if you do not want to use the glass striker. There is a lanyard hole in the back of the liners, a hole for the cord.
In set:
- Myto Aluminum folder
