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.
Icarus Dark Stonewashed Titanium, Dark Bead Blasted / Stonewashed is the top of the line among folding knives produced by Bestech. Designed by Nick Rogers a young knifemaker from the USA, made with uncompromising quality by Bestech. Nick designs his knives as total cutting tools and the whole design is subordinated to that. When you add one of the world's best M390 tool steels, the result is one hell of an EDC knife!
M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of “wire” during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade – wide Clip Point, coated with an advanced Dark Bead Blasted / Stonewashed finish, which combines bead blasting (sandblasting with fine ceramic or glass beads) and stonewashing (tumbling in stones) for a matte, non-reflective, and wear-resistant surface. Long cutting edge converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The small thickness of the blade and the high, flat grind give excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ceramic ball bearings assist in opening the blade with a index-finger front flipper. A dual thumb stud in the wedge stylized in the shape of the sun that the mythical Icarus followed to open can also be used. A section of the back of the wedge is covered with upper jimping, a notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - is two pieces of solid 6AL4V titanium finished in Dark Stonewashed. Ergonomically profiled, eliminate sharp edges for comfort, notches made in the grips improve grip security. Open-backed design without the typical backspacer, fastened together with steel spacer sleeves for easy cleaning. A single-position, right-handed titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in the tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward.
Case - the knife is packed in a zippered nylon soft pouch with the brand's logo for safe carrying and storage of the folder.
