341,34 €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.
Aeronautica Militare G10 / Aluminium, Black PVD, the model that won the tender to equip the pilots of the Italian Air Force. A robust multifunctional knife, the main blade with a reinforced tip. The second blade is a saw, the third blade automatically opens for cutting seat belts or similar. All blades lockable.
N690Co - cobalt-rich 1.65% (Co) corrosion resistant, high carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with a higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. It is characterised by extremely high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened to between 58 and 61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) - the resistance of the surface of the blade and the cutting edge is enhanced by a vacuum deposition method used to deposit thin films by condensing an evaporated form of the desired material onto the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has a very high hardness which significantly increases the resistance of the blade to rust and abrasive wear.
Blade - a basic combo blade (partially serrated) of the Tanto type with a slightly marked belly with a black PVD coating masking scratches. Partially serrated blade for aggressive cutting of hard materials, plastics, fibrous materials. The small thickness of the blade combined with the high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance.
The second blade contains a saw for cutting wood, plastic or other hard materials. The third blade, located on the other side of the knife, is a skin-safe cutter for belts or harnesses.
Teflon washers support the smooth operation of the blade-opening mechanism, the knife and the saw are opened with a pin in the blade (thumb stud), the belt cutter is opened automatically with a lever on the back of the Handle. The knife and saw are locked with the Back Lock, the chisel with the Plunge Lock.
Handle - black in colour. Made of textured aluminium, whose chamfered cover edges eliminate sharp edges for comfort, while the fore finger groove on the front improves grip security. In addition, black G10 grips have been screwed onto part of the Handle grips for improved grip. The glass breaker is located on the front and side of the Handle, so that when holding the knife by the end of the handle it can be used like a normal hammer. On the back, a lever activates the opening of the belt cutter. On the side a small eye for hanging or threading a safety line.
