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.

Gianluigi "Wilson" Simonella is an important figure in the Italian knife community. Creator of custom knives "made in Maniago", founding member of C.I.C. (Italian Knifemakers Corporation), has been crafting his knives in his laboratory since the second half of the 1980s, using the finest steels and high-quality natural materials. Wilson's knives are unique, handcrafted pieces characterized by original, minimalist lines that come with hand-stitched sheaths.
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 - extremely sharp with Drop Point profile, with marked belly, ideal for all kinds of work. The satin-smooth Plain blade is derived with a high Flat Grind, the high grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The enlarged hilt protects the hand from slipping on the blade.
Handle - in Solid® Knife technology, obtained from a monobloc (one piece) of waterproof G10 composite (fiberglass compressed under pressure with synthetic resin) machined on a four-axis CNC numerical machine. This yielded a lightweight, monolithic skeleton (body) of superior strength, which is a strong, solid structural element. The grip grips were also CNC machined, obtaining a non-slip texture. The distinctive, cracked shape fits perfectly in the hand.
Sheath - extended, protecting the Blade along with part of the Handle. Hand-stitched, made of natural brown leather with embossed manufacturer's logo. The edges of the holster were stitched with decorative stitching. Fastened with a cleat. Attaching to a belt or a mount allows to carry the knife in an upright position.
