£351.38This 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.

Elmax - considered the “best all-around knife steel” modern alloy steel with a high content of 17.30% (Cr), carbon 1.70% (C), vanadium 3.00% (V), molybdenum 1.00% (Mo), silicon 0.80% (Si).

It is characterized by extreme edge holding, high wear and corrosion resistance, and dimensional stability. Manufactured at the Böhler-Uddeholm steel mills in Austria.
Blade - Persian type, finished with elegant Belt Satin finish. The elongated belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. For improved piercing capability, a tapered swedge at the top. Ceramic ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a quick flipper (index-finger flipper). The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - made of titanium 6AL4V, beveled edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges. Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! A series of holes not only relieves physical and visual stress on the Handle but also improves grip security. The single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position. Above the clip a lanyard hole, a hole that allows you to thread a safety or decorative cord.
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
