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.

M390 - martensitic high-performance chromium steel produced using powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it is characterized by extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to its high wear resistance, it retains its edge shape, keeping the blade sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another advantage is its resistance to “wire” formation during sharpening. Steel with a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) with an admixture of 1.9% carbon (C), 4.0% vanadium (V), hardened to 59-61 HRC, subjected to 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.
Blade - Drop Point type, finished with an elegant satin finish. The prominent belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade, converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind gives the cutting edge perfect geometry and extreme cutting performance. For improved penetration, the upper part of the blade is tapered. The ceramic ball bearings assist in opening the blade with the help of a fast flipper fin (index-finger flipper) after opening the crossguard. The knife can also be opened with the help of a hole in the blade. The whole is locked with a proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent the lock face from wearing off. Two steel cylinders above the pivot provide additional security. When pressed, they additionally lock the blade, making it as safe to use as a fixed blade.
Handle - made of solid titanium 6AL4V, perfectly milled on CNC machines. The contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges, and the openwork surface improves grip. Only a few companies are able to make a handle with such incredible accuracy! The grips are connected by a titanium backspacer. A single position titanium clip (right) allows the knife to be carried in a tip-up position. On the spine, a slider releases an additional lock in the form of two steel rollers located above the pivot axis. The lock also works when the knife is closed, preventing accidental opening. The protruding part of the backspacer can be used as an improvised ice pick, it also has a hole for a safety or decorative cord.
