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 154CM - a high-quality stainless steel used in the production of knives and other cutting tools. It is a premium steel that offers excellent edge retention, strength and corrosion resistance. 154CM steel was developed by Crucible Industries, which specializes in the production of special metals for industrial applications. It contains a combination of carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, which give it unique properties. The name “154CM” stands for 1.54% carbon and the inclusion of the elements chromium and molybdenum. It is often compared to other premium steels such as S30V, S35VN and CPM-20CV. Knives made from 154CM steel are prized by enthusiasts and professionals alike for their superior performance and durability.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) durability of the blade surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in the industry, including the knife industry.
Blade - with a clip point profile is made of 154CM stainless steel, hardened to a level that ensures durability and precise cutting. The black DLC coating reduces light reflections and makes it easier to maintain aesthetics in daily use. A flat grind increases cutting aggressiveness and improves material penetration ability. Flipper, supported by ball bearings, provides dynamic opening. The hollow grain of the blade reduces weight and affects the balance of the entire knife.
Handle - presentation side made of Carbon Fiber composite , lock side made of titanium, also coated with DLC, guarantees stiffness, lightness and high wear resistance. Milled finger indentations and chamfered edges improve ergonomics, while the titanium backspacer reinforces the structure and allows for line attachment. A deep-carry clip allows for discreet carrying, and a frame lock with steel inlay ensures safe use. Accents in the form of blue anodized screws and pivot highlight the futuristic nature of the design and distinguish this model from other tactical knives.
