£93.98This 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.
Roadie XL Black FRN, Satin design by Sal Glesser, founder of Spyderco. Classic pen knife made of excellent Böhler M398 steel and FRN composite handle. Ultralight, easy to carry, it will easily fit into any luggage or pocket. Due to its notch joint design and two-handed opening, allowed in many countries with restrictions on carrying knives on your person.
M398 Microclean® - 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 retains the shape of the edge, so that the blade remains 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) and carbon content of 2.7% (C) and vanadium 7.2% (V) with molybdenum 1.0% (Mo), tungsten 0.7% (W). Designed to provide better strength compared to M390, launched in 2019. M398 contains more carbon and vanadium, making it a very hard 60-62 HRC steel. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Notch Joint - a non-blocking mechanism used in folders. It uses spring pressure on a flat notch on the back of the Blade to hold the blade open during use. Force is required to fold the knife. TheSlip-Joint holds the blade in both the folded and unfolded positions.
Blade - Sheepsfoot type blade, smooth Plain, brought out with a Full Flat Grind. In the front part on both sides, round recess in the steel for comfortable opening. Notched thumb rest (upper jimping) on the back of the blade and Finger Choil (index finger undercut between the Handle and the cutting edge) make it easier to control the knife.
Handle - full-length sheaths made of FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), fiberglass-reinforced nylon. A lightweight clip with right/left attachment allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position.
