248,60 €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.
Acha Natural Burlap Micarta, Black Stonewashed is an advanced fixed blade knife designed by Michele “Moletta” Pensato in the spirit of functional minimalism and utility durability. Based on the “Across the Handle” concept, the design is distinguished by its compact construction, modern materials and carefully considered geometry, making it suitable as both an EDC knife and a field tool. Blade is made of Böhler M390 - one of the most advanced powder steels, offering excellent sharpness retention, full corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance, even in harsh conditions. The Black Stonewashed finish emphasizes precision craftsmanship and reduces the visibility of micro-scratches. The blade's profile and grind have been selected to provide versatility from precision tasks to forceful cuts. The ergonomic Burlap Micarta composite handle guarantees a secure grip and high resistance to the elements, while the milled 6Al-4V titanium crossguard further stabilizes the grip and increases the strength of the overall design. In the back there is a steel service nut, allowing the removal of the handle for maintenance. Acha is a knife that meets the needs of users looking for a combination of precision, ruggedness and elegance in a modern outdoor and EDC knife.
Michele “Molletta” Pensato, an Italian knife designer with a passion for archaeology, has transformed his love of adventure into the high-end craft of knife design. His career began with an archaeological dig, where he realized the need for a durable knife. Known for his innovative approach to materials and experiments with heat treatment, Pensato has won numerous awards. His designs for lionSTEEL, such as the popular T5 and the award-winning SR11, are distinguished by their practicality and typically Italian rounded shapes. Knife design, although just a hobby for him, has resulted in significant contributions to the lionSTEEL collection.
M390 - 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 maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays 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) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - designed for durability, precision and high operational resistance. Made of Böhler M390 powder steel , the Blade offers excellent cutting performance, long-lasting sharpness retention and corrosion resistance - even in environments exposed to moisture and dirt. The drop point profile provides versatile performance, and the long, smooth cutting edge works well for a wide range of utility work. The flatgrind gives the blade a low cutting resistance and optimal working thickness, which is conducive to both precision operations and more strenuous tasks. The surface of the blade was finished using the Stonewashed method and then coated with a black coating that reduces glare and masks microscratches, while enhancing the knife's aesthetics. The integral titanium crossguard not only makes the knife safer to work with, but also strengthens the structure of the entire design.
Handle - made of Burlap Micarta, that is, layers of jute fibers embedded in epoxy resin. Thanks to its structure, this material offers exceptional resistance to moisture, abrasion and changing temperatures, while remaining light and comfortable to use. The rough surface ensures good grip even when wearing gloves or with a wet hand. The handle's profiling is designed for maximum ergonomics - rounded edges and gentle finger undercuts improve comfort for prolonged work. The entire design is capped with a steel service nut in the back of the Handle, allowing easy removal of the handle for cleaning. The hidden tang design, combined with a titanium crossguard, guarantees rigidity, resistance to overloading and high reliability even under heavy use. The Acha handle is a perfectly balanced combination of modern materials and classic utility form.
Sheath - extended, protecting the Blade along with part of the Handle. Hand-stitched, made of natural leather in black with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edges of the holster were stitched with decorative double stitching. Fastened with a Prym type snap. Attaching to a belt or to a mount allows to carry the knife in an upright position .
