22,37 €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 Martinez Albainox 32318-F is a full-tang blade designed for DIY handle mounting. The product comes with pre-fabricated steel bolsters but does not include factory-installed handle scales, allowing the user to choose their own material and finish.
The blade has a total length of 260.00 mm, a blade length of 140.00 mm, and a weight of 207.00 g. The Clip Point profile, concave grind, and satin finish give it a classic look, and the set includes a leather sheath; the edge is shipped unsharpened and requires final sharpening.
3Cr13Mov – Practical Steel for DIY Projects
3Cr13Mov steel offers good corrosion resistance and is relatively easy to sharpen. This makes it well-suited for budget DIY projects where the user crafts the handle and applies the final finish to the knife themselves.
Clip Point, Hollow Grind, and Full Tang
The Clip Point profile provides a distinct tip and a classic blade line, while the concave grind supports efficient cutting. The full-tang construction extends the entire length of the handle and provides a solid base for custom scales.
Steel Bolster and Leather Sheath
The steel bolsters are already attached, making it easier to complete the handle. The leather sheath allows you to prepare the finished, ready-to-use knife once the work is complete and the blade has been sharpened.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I sharpen a 3Cr13Mov blade?
3Cr13Mov is relatively easy to sharpen and works well with ceramic and water stones, as well as simple sharpening systems. Since the blade is shipped unsharpened, it’s best to finish sharpening it after the handle is complete.
How do you care for 3Cr13Mov steel?
After coming into contact with moisture, it’s a good idea to dry the blade and clean off any dirt. The steel has good corrosion resistance, but basic care helps preserve the satin finish and the surface’s appearance.
What kind of lock does the Martinez Albainox 32318-F have?
This model does not have a lock because it features a full-tang construction designed for custom mounting. Once the handle is attached, the result is a classic fixed-blade knife, not a folding knife.
