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.
Stovepipe Titanium is a David Rydbom designed renowned knifemaker strong knife with a Wharncliffe blade profile. Sophisticated ergonomics complement the natural curves of the hand for maximum surface contact and superior control. Industrial design meets the best materials and technology here, such as the RIL lock, titanium handle and CPM 20CV steel.
CPM 20CV - one of the best tool steels, American premium martensitic stainless steel. Manufactured by US Crucible Industries using the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide better wear resistance while maintaining corrosion resistance at the highest level. This super steel is comparable to Bohler's M390 steel or Carpenter's CTS-204P. According to some knife manufacturers, 20CV is the best of these three steels in terms of edge retention. It consists of 19.0% carbon (C), 20.0% chromium (Cr), 4.0% vanadium (V), 1.0% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.6% tungsten (W). The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.
Reeve Integral-Lock - (R.I.L.) a reinforced, monolithic Frame-Lock type blade lock. One of the facings acts as a locking mechanism.
Blade - with Warncliff profile, thickness 4.0 mm. Plain blade with Hollow Grind. The straight concave cutting edge provides exceptional cutting performance by transferring power to the blade tip for improved scoring strength. The enlarged 14mm round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) allows easy opening of the blade with a glove as well as wet, sweaty hands. All finished with Stonewash, a method that fits well with the design of the knife.
Handle - solid titanium, anatomically profiled for better grip. Enlarged pivot bolt serves as a stopper preventing too much bending of the locking leaf. Solid titanium one-position (right) clip, allowing to carry the knife in tip-up position. The whole, as well as the blade finished with Stonewash, emphasizing the industrial roots of the design.
