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 Veleno Black Aluminum, Black Top Shield dagger with a symmetrical sharp blade on both sides, is reminiscent of the knife that Fox made for the G.I.S. (Gruppo d'Intervento Speciale), the special operations / anti-terrorist group of the Italian Carabinieri. The Veleno derives from a reinterpretation of the ceremonial dagger, made more attractive by the materials used: a blade made of N690 steel with a Top Shield® finish and an aluminum handle finished in black, which resembles the distinctive color of this special forces unit.
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 higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened in the 58-61 HRC range. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - extremely slender with a Dagger shape with a double-edged symmetrical blade. The blade was coated with a black, non-reflective Top Shield® coating. The blade was derived with a Flat grind for excellent cutting and especially penetration properties. On both sides closer to the Handle a sawtooth blade with fine serrations. At the base of the Blade double finger guard double-sided hilt to protect the hand from slipping on the blade.
Handle - made of high quality aluminum. Provides lightness and ergonomic shape improves secure grip especially with wet hands. The head with an enlarged oval hole (lanyard hole) that allows you to pull a lanyard or safety line, can act as a glass breaker and more....
Sheath - made of high quality leather, with an eye for hanging on the belt. The leather strap fastened with a snap secures the knife from falling out. In the lower part a hole for threading a thigh cable.
