319,01 €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.
PITS 2 Gray Titanium, Satin is an advanced folding knife designed by Mike Read in cooperation with Spyderco, with users operating in jurisdictions with restrictive locking regulations in mind. Equipped with the SlipIt mechanism, which relies on resilient titanium arms, this model ensures safe use without a classic lock. Blade made of Böhler M398 powder steel offers exceptional abrasion resistance and long-lasting sharpness, while full flat grinding and drop point profile guarantee precise and efficient cutting. The whole is complemented by a satin finish, which reduces the visibility of scratches and adds technical elegance to the whole . The lightweight milled titanium 6AL-4V Handle not only adds durability, but also acts as part of the SlipIt mechanism. PITS 2 is an excellent choice for those who want modern construction, full compliance and minimalist design without compromising on functionality.
M398 Microclean® - a 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.
Blade - made of Böhler M398 powder steel, offering excellent edge retention and superior wear resistance - parameters valued in everyday tools. The drop point profile and full-flat grind allow smooth blade guidance and high precision cutting, making this model extremely versatile. Satin finish not only gives the blade an elegant look, but also masks micro-scratches. Responsible for safe use is the SlipIt mechanism, in which the arms of the Handle act as springs that press the Blade against the thrust pin - a solution that meets the legal requirements of many countries, while ensuring the Blade's stability during use. The Round Hole™ opening allows intuitive one-handed opening, regardless of the dominant hand. Blade PITS 2 is a combination of modern materials, ergonomics and regulatory compliance.
Handle - made of anodized titanium 6AL-4V, precisely milled for springy arms, which act as a SlipIt mechanism . This design offers high rigidity with low weight, while providing an ergonomic, comfortable grip. The matte finish reduces light reflections and increases scratch resistance, while the symmetrical profile makes the knife sit perfectly in the hand - even in prolonged use. The open design makes it easy to clean and maintain, and the reversible wire clip allows for discreet tip-up carry on either side. Handle PITS 2 is a technical and aesthetic form adapted to the expectations of minimalist users, who do not want to sacrifice quality, reliability and legality.
