118,24 €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.

CPM 154CM - a high-quality stainless tool steel used in the manufacture of knives and other cutting tools. A premium steel that offers excellent edge retention, strength and corrosion resistance. Developed by US Crucible Industries, which specializes in high-performance alloys for industrial applications. CPM 154CM steel features a balanced composition of carbon, chromium, molybdenum and vanadium, which give it exceptional properties. The name “154CM” refers to its carbon content of 1.54% carbon and the addition of the elements chromium (Cr) and molybdenum (Mo). It is often compared to other premium steels such as S30V, S35VN and CPM 20CV. Knives made from 154CM steel are highly regarded by enthusiasts and professionals alike for their exceptional performance and durability.
Blade - wide, Drop Point type, finished with a Tumbled method to mask minor scratches caused during use. The thickness of the blade ensures high durability, while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The smoothness of the opening is ensured by the innovative Oil Infused Bronze Bushing System, which assists the opening of the blade with a pin on both sides of the blade. The whole is locked with the proven liner lock.
Handle - made of G10 composite, a material with extremely high mechanical strength and virtually complete resistance to weather conditions and chemicals, textured for improved grip. Forefinger groove for better grip. Open-backed design without a typical backspacer, attached to each other with steel spacers for easy cleaning.
