423,74 €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.
Caimano Nero, Black MIL-C is a large, automatic tactical knife supplied to the G.O.I., Gruppo Operativo Incursori (Operational Raiders Group) of the Italian Navy, designed by Extrema Ratio, the official supplier to COMSUBIN. Its name pays tribute to the heroic Caimani Neri del Piave (Black Caimans of the Piave River), a unit of the Arditi della Regia Marina (Italian Royal Navy) who, during World War I, crossed the Piave River to conduct operations on enemy territory.
N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural uniformity. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. It achieves a hardness of 57-60 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - extremely sharp with Spear Point profile, 4 mm thick with clearly marked belly of the blade. Made of well kept sharpness, durable high cobalt stainless steel N690 and covered with scratch resistant matt non-reflective coating MIL-C-13924 BURNISHING. Combo type blade has a Flat grind for durability, superior cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The serrated part of the edge allows cutting very tough cables and fabrics without losing sharpness of the rest of the blade. Dual blade locking system: The robust Liner-Lock blade lock mechanism is combined with an additional manual lock. On the back of the blade there is a false blade for improved piercing properties, additionally at the very tip the blade is double edged. Protruding flipper lever after opening creates a guard that prevents the hand from slipping on the blade. Opening system has been designed in such a way that accidental hitting the blade against an obstacle during opening does not interrupt it.
Handle - anodized aluminum grip linings provide lightness and structural strength, to improve grip and relieve stress on the structure a number of holes were made in them. Wide zipper allows you to open the knife without any problems, even with tactical gloves. Open-backed design simplifies cleaning and maintenance. The solid left/right reversible titanium "bridge shaped" clip allows you to carry the knife deep in your pocket (discreetly) in tip-up position. New feature here is the ability to mount the clip at different angles, so you can personalize the way you carry the knife to fit your equipment. The handle is finished with a glass breaker.
