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.

Sleipner - a versatile high-alloy chrome-molybdenum-vanadium tool steel with high wear and chipping resistance with a balanced alloy composition: chromium content of 7.8% (Cr), 0.9% carbon (C), molybdenum 2.5% (Mo) and vanadium 0.5% (V). It achieves a high hardness of 60-62 HRC. Manufactured at Uddeholm steel plant.
Double Detent Slip-Joint - a “no lock” non-locking mechanism used in folders in which the wedge is held open by spring pressure on a flat section at the back of the blade shank during use. TheSlip Joint holds the blade in both the folded and unfolded positions. When folded, it generates a smooth resistance as in a knife equipped with a traditional locking mechanism. To avoid accidental opening during carrying, the blade is held in the closed position by two Double Detent steel balls, one on each side of the blade.
Blade - Drop Point type, finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. The pronounced belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The small thickness combined with the high flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting qualities and the long bore grain increases the strength of the blade. Ball bearings support the smooth operation of the blade's opening mechanism, which can be opened with a notch in the blade (nail nick). The notch ends with a fluorescent dot made of Swiss Superluminova material making it easier to find the knife in the dark. The whole is locked by the Double Detent Slip-Joint system accepted by many countries with restrictions on the right to carry a knife.
Handle - is two pieces of 6061-T6 aluminum. The so-called open-backed mocated with steel spacer sleeves reduces weight and facilitates cleaning. Simple, secure design gives you the assurance of many years of use. Two-position left/right wire clip deep carry allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position (tip up).
