273,47 €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.
Taipan Black / Blue Titanium, Satin is an expression of James Lowe's mature design style , combining modern geometry with precision craftsmanship. This premium folder is designed as a tool for discerning people - both in terms of aesthetics and functionality. The pronounced line of the Blade, the aggressive form of the Blade and the milled Handle are in keeping with the minimalist yet dynamic design language typical of the creator. The construction uses MagnaCut steel, a material known for its exceptional balance between corrosion resistance, edge retention and mechanical strength. The wharncliffe-profile blade has been finished with a satin finish, which ensures surface durability and gives the whole thing a technical, unobtrusive look. This solution increases the blade's resistance to traces of use, while emphasizing its utilitarian character. Handle made of milled titanium creates a light and rigid structure, with a distinct rhythm of concentric cuts to improve grip. Frame lock with steel inlay ensures reliable locking of the Blade, and the presence of ceramic ball bearings guarantees smooth operation. A titanium deep-carry clip allows discreet and convenient carrying. The whole is aimed at users looking for an everyday tool with uncompromising design and timeless character.
CPM MagnaCut - Powdered stainless steel manufactured using 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 - with a wharncliffe profile is characterized by a reinforced tip and a straight cutting edge, which translates into a wide range of applications - from precision cuts to tasks requiring strength. The MagnaCut steel used is a state-of-the-art alloy that combines corrosion resistance, high sharpness retention and chipping resistance, making it an ideal material for heavy use. The satin finish increases durability and scratch resistance, while enhancing the visual character of the knife. The blade is opened with an oval opening , which allows quick and intuitive unfolding with one hand.
Handle - made of milled titanium form a consistent, rigid construction with a distinctly technical character. Dense, rhythmic milling not only emphasizes the aesthetics of the design, but also improves the non-slip properties of the handle. The frame lock has been reinforced with a steel inlay, which ensures durability and reliable operation even under heavy use. The use of a deep carry clip made of titanium allows the knife to be carried comfortably and unobtrusively in the pocket. The carefully contoured shape of the Handle and the balance of the whole promote comfort - even with prolonged use.
