723,67 €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.

Damasteel® Super Dense Twist ™ - suitable for any application, creates a very nice star pattern on the back of the blade and bevel. This steel has a proud tradition associated with rifle barrels. Austenitic Damascus-pattern Damasteel steel is a powder-based stainless steel made from two alloys, 304L and 316L. Each alloy provides a good combination of ductility and corrosion resistance. These alloys are used in a variety of products designed for use in certain conditions. Some examples include jewelry, watches and other EDC applications where corrosion resistance and aesthetics are important.
Fingers Safe Opening System - the blade opens by gently pressing a button and then sliding it into a milled half circle. The blade is closed by sliding the button in the opposite direction. Thanks to the design, our fingers will never get in the way of the blade. The locking mechanism is operated by a slider located within reach of the thumb on the side of the knife's handle.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of a workpiece.
The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.
Blade - Sheepsfoot type blade , finished by etching in acid to bring out the unique damascus patterns. The knife is opened with a peg in the Handle sliding in a milled semicircle. The solid thickness of the blade combined with a high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Smooth and smooth opening is ensured by the gently notched button of the Fingers Safe Opening System or by using a quick flipper flipper (index-finger flipper). When opened, the flipper forms a mini-garden to prevent your hand from slipping on the blade. The whole thing is locked with an intuitive Fingers Safe Opening System lock .
