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.
M06 MIM Black Cerakote M2 is an advanced tactical knife with a fixed blade, developed for heavy use in operations and as an EDC tool. Designed by ANV Knives, it is based on Metal Injection Molding (MIM) technology and is made of high-speed AISI M2 steel, characterized by high wear resistance and sharpness retention. The compact Wharncliffe profile makes it easy to maneuver the blade with precision, especially in confined spaces. The asymmetrical, skeletonized Handle provides lightness while maintaining rigidity, and the Cerakote coating improves corrosion and scratch resistance. The M06 MIM is for users who need a tool that is compact, durable and ready for action in any situation. It comes with a Kydex Sheath , compatible with ULTICLIP, MOLLE Clip and Tek-Lok systems, allowing you to customize the way you carry it.
M2 is a molybdenum high speed steel (HSS) with a well-balanced chemical composition for high hardness, abrasive wear resistance and so-called “red hardness” (the ability to maintain hardness at elevated temperatures). Typical chemical composition includes: carbon (C) 0.78-0.88%, chromium (Cr) 3.75-4.5%, molybdenum (Mo) 4.5-5.5%, tungsten (W) 5.5-6.75% and vanadium (V) 1.75-2.20%. It is widely used for the manufacture of cutting tools such as drills, taps, mills, broaches, saws and industrial knives, as well as for cold working punches and stamps. M2 offers improved economy and properties in many applications compared to traditional T1 high-speed steel.
Cerakote™ - a ceramic-based finish that can be applied to metals to improve a range of physical properties, including abrasion/wear and corrosion resistance . Thin-film non-reflective, low-friction matte protective coating resistant to heat, chemicals and impact. Provides durability and hardness.
Blade - made of M2 steel hardened to 54-56 HRC offers exceptional abrasion resistance and long-lasting sharpness retention. Wharncliffe profile guarantees precision and control, especially for tasks requiring accuracy. A blade thickness of 6.1 mm combined with a working length of 33 mm results in high toughness despite its compact size. MIM technology ensures material uniformity and strength while maintaining low weight. Cerakote finish protects against damage and eliminates light reflections. Full tang construction increases the rigidity and resistance of the entire tool.
Handle - made of the same M2 steel with MIM technology , as the Blade, guaranteeing structural integrity and strength. Asymmetrical, skeletonized body with notches improves grip and minimizes weight (45 g). Finger ring allows dynamic maneuvering of the knife in an inverted position and increases control in emergency situations. Cerakote coating provides corrosion resistance and reflection masking. A cord hole provides an option for security or personalization.
