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 Spanish brand Muela has combined classic styling with modern materials to create a tool that features durability, reliability and elegant design. The model's form is reminiscent of traditional hunting knives, but its ergonomics and finish meet the expectations of modern users. The blade is made of X50CrMoV15 stainless steel, known for its good sharpness retention, corrosion resistance and easy sharpening in field conditions. The drop point profile and hollow grind provide excellent versatility - both for precision cutting and jobs requiring more force. The satin finish gives the blade a classic shine and reduces the visibility of micro-scratches. Handle made of durable coral pakka wood not only adds to the knife's aesthetic appeal, but also improves grip and stability of work. The moisture- and wear-resistant material, molded for the hand, promotes comfort in prolonged use. The hidden tang design reinforces the rigidity of the tool, and the leather sheath allows for safe carrying at the belt. The PIRANHA-8R is a classic utility knife that combines style, quality and functionality in one compact design.

The chemical composition of the steel is enriched with an admixture of 15.0% chromium (Cr), 0.80% molybdenum (Mo), 0.20% vanadium (V).
Blade - was based on drop point profile, which provides versatility and precision cutting - both in gutting and linear cuts. X50CrMoV15 steel was used in its production, offering corrosion resistance and easy sharpening - features important in the field. A hollow grind allows the blade to run smoothly and reduces drag when working with organic material. The satin finish emphasizes the utilitarian nature of the blade, while subtle milling enhances control of the knife. The blade design offers an optimal balance between sharpness and durability - ideal for diverse field tasks.
Handle - made of laminated coral pakka wood , that is, layered compressed resin-soaked wood - a durable, stable and moisture-resistant material. Slightly profiled form provides an ergonomic grip, even with gloves or a wet hand. The hidden tang design strengthens the whole mechanically and provides better balance during use. There is a lanyard hole in the back for attaching a safety line. The whole is completed by a sheath made of natural leather, fastened and designed for vertical carrying - a classic solution in an elegant way.
