373,19 €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.
RAO C Outdoor Green Aluminum, Satin is a development of the iconic RAO design, redesigned into a more mobile, off-road configuration. This model retains the fundamental philosophy of the series - maximum mechanical resistance while maintaining the functionality of a folding knife. It's a tool designed for real-world outdoor loads, where the knife is sometimes used to work with wood, rope, synthetic materials and in camp tasks requiring stability and control. Blade made of BÖHLER N690 steel has a drop point profile, which in field applications provides an optimal balance between tip strength and blade precision. The flat grind used promotes efficient, smooth cutting while maintaining structural stability under load. The satin finish facilitates maintenance and allows you to control the condition of the surface after heavy use. The anodized aluminum Handle is designed as a rigid working platform that resists twisting and deformation. Prominent milling, finger undercuts and aggressive grip enhancements increase control with gloves and wet hands. The distinctive double locking safety system stabilizes the blade in the open position, giving the design a knife-like behavior similar to a fixed blade and increasing safety when working under load. The RAO C Outdoor is for users who expect a folding knife to be structurally sound, repeatable in performance and ready for intensive use in off-road conditions.
N690 - corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C), martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V) and cobalt 1.50% (Co) for structural uniformity. It features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. It achieves a hardness of 57-60 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - with drop point profile is designed for balanced field properties. The gradually descending ridge line improves tip control during planing, notching and precision prep work. The wide, functional cutting surface promotes efficient cutting of wood and fibrous materials. The flat grind used creates a usable geometry for good material penetration while maintaining resistance to lateral loading. The satin finish makes it easy to keep the blade clean and monitor any signs of use. The RAO C Outdoor model uses a reinforced locking system, based on a main mechanism supported by an additional secondary safety device. This solution stabilizes the blade in the open position and minimizes the risk of accidental release of the lock when working under load, increasing operational safety.
Handle - made of anodized aluminum creates a rigid, deformation-resistant structure supported by steel liners. Milled recesses reduce weight and improve grip, while pronounced finger indentations increase control during dynamic work. The back of the Handle features a pronounced jimping, which stabilizes the thumb for precision tasks. An integrated clip allows the knife to be carried securely in a pocket or on a holster, and a hole in the back of the Handle allows the use of a high-visibility paracord cord. The overall design is developed as a platform to withstand moisture, dirt and heavy use. A molded Kydex sheath is included, allowing the knife to be transported in the open position as well, and to configure the carrying system according to the needs of the outdoor user.
