338,09 €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 Miura Blue Titanium, Satin M390 (MI-TBL) is an ultra-compact premium folder designed by Simone Tonolli, which won the 2022 Imported Knife of the Year title at the Blade Show. This model was created for the most demanding EDC users, combining Italian elegance with uncompromising functionality - offering cutting precision, modern design and the use of high-end materials. Blade with sheepsfoot profile , made of Böhler M390 powder steel, provides exceptional edge durability, corrosion resistance and the ability to maintain sharpness for a long time - even under heavy daily use. The satin finish gives the blade a subtle sheen and reduces material adhesion, promoting ease of maintenance. Optimized geometry promotes precise, controlled cuts. The entire blade is built on a uniform titanium construction (integral frame) anodized in blue - an advanced solution found only in the most refined designs. Handle is characterized by ergonomic contouring and extremely low weight (about 72 g), which makes Miura knife almost imperceptible in the pocket. The opening mechanism is based on ball bearings, and the whole is secured by a precise button lock, which allows convenient and smooth folding of the blade with one hand. On the back of the Handle there is a titanium deep-carry clip and a hole for a cord. The MKM Miura is a proposition for users expecting maximum precision, lightness and technical sophistication in a compact format - an ideal EDC folder in the high-end segment .
Simone Tonolli is an independent knifemaker from Italy, known for his precise designs and innovative approach to designing premium folding knives. He combines traditional techniques with CNC machining to create models with high ergonomics, reliability and usable durability. His workshop creates EDC, tactical and outdoor knives distinguished by attention to detail, excellent balance and the use of powder steels such as MagnaCut or M390. With functional solutions and minimalist aesthetics, Tonolli's designs appeal to discerning users, collectors and professionals who value quality and conscious engineering.
M390 - a martensitic high-performance chromium steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the 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 - Sheepsfoot type with a slightly curved cutting edge provides excellent edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The blade is finished with an elegant Satin method . The small thickness of the blade combined with a high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings are responsible for the smooth operation of the opening mechanism . The knife can be opened with a dual thumb stud in the blade on both sides (dual thumb stud) or by gravity, by releasing the lock. The whole thing is locked with an intuitive button lock.
Handle - made of one piece of titanium 6AI4V, machined on CNC milling machines. Monolithic skeleton (body) of the highest strength, which is a solid structural element that guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. Only a few companies are able to make the Handle with such incredible accuracy! The simplicity and solidity of the construction give the assurance of many years of use. Textured surface for improved grip quality. The two-position (right/left), deep-carry clip, made of titanium, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. The pivot axis is decorated with a titaniumcollar ring dyed blue(pivot collar ring).
Additional accessories - included is a zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder, and a T6/T8 torx key.
