112,86 €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 Heidi Blacksmith #1 Black / Green G10, Satin is the result of a collaboration between the Bestech brand and an independent designer using the nickname Heidi - a specialist in tools with a distinct, utilitarian aesthetic. This compact fixed blade knife fits the idea of minimalist field equipment: no superfluous elements, but with an emphasis on function, durability and serviceability. The D2 tool steel used provides increased abrasion resistance and maintains working sharpness for a long time, making this model well suited for bushcraft and everyday tasks. Blade profile allows efficient cutting in organic materials, and the subtly raised belly improves precision. The whole is complemented by a satin finish, which facilitates maintenance and exposes the blade's grind. Handle made of durable G10 composite, finished with milling and rounding, provides an ergonomic and stable grip - regardless of conditions. Mosaic pins reinforce the design, and the presence of a rope hole and Kydex sheath increases the model's functionality in the field. This tool is dedicated to people who prefer equipment that is well thought out, durable and ready for action regardless of the situation.
D2 - high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. With a high chromium content of 13.0% (Cr), it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combines strength, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. Features high wear resistance due to high carbide content in the microstructure.
Blade - drop point used in this model provides high versatility, combining strength with precision. The blade is made of D2 tool steel, which offers excellent edge retention and wear resistance. The flat grind allows for smooth and clean cuts, even in demanding materials. The satin finish reduces the visibility of fine scratches and gives the blades a professional, tool-like feel. Additional utility features, such as a short ricasso and a gently rounded blade back, improve control and safety when handling the knife in precision tasks.
Handle - made of G10 composite provides a strong and ergonomic point of support. Thanks to the rounded edges, milling and convex back profile of the handle, the knife fits well in the hand and allows full control, even in a confined space. The full tang construction guarantees maximum rigidity, and mosaic pins further strengthen the material connection. There is a rope hole in the back , and a Kydex sheath is included for vertical or horizontal carrying - depending on the user's needs and the type of activity.
