187,50 €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.

CPM MagnaCut - powder stainless steel produced by the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) process hardened to 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more “conventional” steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM MagnaCut succeeded in creating a steel that combines the unique properties of knife steels like no other. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This exceptional steel is manufactured at Crucible® Industries' American steel mills.
Blade - made of modern CPM MagnaCut steel, providing excellent resistance to corrosion, abrasion and micro-damage. The Nessmuk-type profile with a long, curved cutting line makes it easier to handle the blade during pulling cuts and tasks that require precise guiding of the blade - such as slicing, scraping or peeling. The full flat grind used keeps the blade's resistance low while working, while increasing the tool's effectiveness when dealing with materials of varying densities. The satin finish emphasizes the Blade's technical character and reduces the visibility of use marks. The overall design has been optimized for prolonged and intensive use in field and utility environments.
Handle - made of durable G10 laminate , resistant to moisture, changing temperatures and mechanical damage. The fine texture of the material enhances grip, allowing a secure grip even in harsh weather conditions. Ergonomic profiling, rounded edges and finger cutouts improve control and comfort for extended use. The full tang construction supports the knife's rigidity and durability, and a rope hole allows for mounting a paracord or pendant. It comes with a sheath made of natural leather with a magnetic locking system, allowing discreet and convenient vertical carrying. The Handle of the Pocket Tango 1 model was designed with practicality, durability and comfort in mind - being the answer to the needs of users who expect the knife to be reliable, precise and durable in all conditions.
