322,90 €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 20CV - one of the finest tool steels, US premium martensitic stainless steel. Produced by US Crucible Industries by the particle metallurgy / Crucible® Particle Metallurgy(CPM) method. The CPM process creates a very homogeneous, high-quality steel with excellent dimensional stability, grindability and ductility compared to steels produced by conventional methods. Designed to provide better wear resistance while maintaining corrosion resistance at the highest level. This super steel is comparable to Bohler's M390 steel or Carpenter's CTS-204P. According to some knife manufacturers, 20CV is the best of these three steels in terms of edge retention. It consists of 19.0% carbon (C), 20.0% chromium (Cr), 4.0% vanadium (V), 1.0% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.6% tungsten (W). The high percentage of chromium with a touch of molybdenum makes 20CV one of the best high-end corrosion-resistant steels.
Blade - made of high-grade CPM 20CV powder steel , providing exceptional cutting edge durability, high abrasion resistance and excellent corrosion resistance, which translates into long-lasting sharpness in everyday use. The spear point profile combines a precision cutting line with a sharp tip, enabling a wide range of applications - from precision cuts to tasks requiring penetration. The surface of the blade has been finished with a black stonewashed technique , minimizing the visibility of wear marks and light reflections. The hollow grind promotes smooth cutting and efficient guidance of the blade in the material with minimal resistance. The opening system is based on the front flipper and thumb hole, supported by precision ceramic bearings, which ensures fast, smooth and safe operation of the Blade. The frame lock mechanism with a steel inlay, which prevents wiping of the lock face, ensures the stabilization of the blade and the safety of the user during operation.
Handle - was created from milled titanium 6Al-4V, ensuring high mechanical resistance, structural rigidity and full corrosion resistance while maintaining low overall weight. Subtle raindrop milling improves the grip, enhancing the ergonomics and aesthetics of the Handle. The contoured side edges and rounded lines promote natural hand placement, minimizing fatigue during prolonged use. The design is complemented by a precision-fit backspacer and a titanium deep-carry tip-up clip, allowing the knife to be carried discreetly in a pocket. An additional space for a safety cable increases functionality when working in the field. The whole design is kept in the subdued style of premium utility minimalism.
