42,04 €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.
The Ciol Green Canvas Micarta, Stonewashed was created in collaboration with Italian designer Denis Simonutti and is a thoughtful combination of classic design and the functionality of an everyday utility knife. Designed with simplicity, durability and comfort in mind, it will perform well in both urban and light outdoor environments. Blade is made of 440C stainless steel , known for its good sharpness retention and high corrosion resistance. Thanks to the stonewashed finish, the blade retains its aesthetic appearance for a long time, effectively masking scratches and signs of use. The blade design strikes a balance between cutting precision and the ability to work with a variety of materials. The Canvas Micarta Handle offers a stable grip in all conditions, even with wet hands. The natural texture of the material enhances grip, while the slim profile of the handle promotes ergonomics for prolonged use. Steel liner-based construction reinforces the whole, increasing mechanical resistance. The slip joint mechanism and nail nick opening allows the knife to be carried in most restricted countries. The BF-748 is an example of a successful combination of aesthetics, durability and utility - an everyday tool that remains reliable and comfortable in any situation.
440C - a high-carbon (min. 0.95%) martensitic alloy stainless steel of 57-59 HRC hardness with impressively high strength and corrosion resistance, containing min. 16% chromium. The high carbon content results in the formation of chromium carbide compounds, providing wear resistance and edge retention after hardening. Due to its high hardness, the steel is suitable for the manufacture of cutting tools knife blades and scissors, as well as medical tools.
Blade - designed in a classic drop point profile , providing versatility of cuts and good blade control in everyday use. Its gently curved cutting line facilitates both precise and dynamic cuts. The 440C steel used combines corrosion resistance with good durability of the working edge, while allowing for relatively easy sharpening - making it an ideal choice for everyday knives. The flat grind (flat grind) improves cutting smoothness and minimizes resistance when working with a variety of materials. The stonewashed finish gives the blade a subdued, utilitarian feel and effectively masks micro-scratches and signs of use. The slip joint mechanism and nail nick opening allows the knife to be carried in most restricted countries. Blade of the BF-748 model was designed with an emphasis on simplicity, durability and comfortable handling - with an eye on reliability in everyday use.
Handle - made of Canvas Micarta, a material formed from layers of fabric soaked in epoxy resin, which provides high resistance to abrasion, moisture and changing weather conditions. The distinctive surface texture increases grip, guaranteeing a firm grip even in harsh conditions. Ergonomic profiling and fine milling adapt the handle to the natural position of the hand, reducing fatigue during work. Internal steel liners reinforce the design and give it stability, which is crucial for the folder's service life. Additional elements, such as a leather carrying case and a hole for a safety cable, increase the functionality of the knife in everyday use. The whole is based on Torx screws, which facilitates maintenance and personalization of the tool. The Handle of the Ciol model is an example of a well-thought-out, utilitarian EDC design - durable, comfortable and refined in detail.
