79,36 €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.
Retract Black G10, Satin is a design by Ed Schempp, a designer known for reinterpreting historical and ethnic blade forms in a modern, utilitarian context. In this case, the inspiration came from the geometry of a Nepalese kukri, but transformed into a compact, folding EDC design. The Retract is not a stylistic variation - it's a tool in which the shape of the blade realistically affects the mechanics of cutting and the way force is transferred. The dynamic silhouette combines aggressive lines with predictable control during use. Blade made of 9Cr18MoV stainless steel is shaped in a distinctly curved recurve kukri profile with a negative angle of the blade to the axis of the Handle. This geometry enhances the leverage effect in drawn cuts and allows for higher efficiency without increasing the tool's overall dimensions. The flat grind used provides a thin, efficient cross-sectional geometry, promoting smooth penetration of the blade into the material and maintaining control of the cutting path. Handle grips based on steel liners and textured G10 composite grips provide adequate structural rigidity while maintaining reasonable weight. The LinerLock mechanism has been fine-tuned, offering stable lockup and intuitive operation. A wire deep-carry clip allows for discreet carry in a tip-up configuration. Retract is a folder designed for users who expect an advantage from geometry - not from size, but from thoughtful design.

His designs combine vintage design with modern engineering, offering refined ergonomics, thoughtful blade geometry and high utility functionality. Schempp is known for his in-depth knowledge of steel and folding knife design, which translates into the durability and real-world performance of his designs. His knives are valued by both collectors and users looking for character and proven quality.
9Cr18MoV - high-grade stainless knife steel. A high content of 18.0% chromium (Cr) and an average of 0.95% carbon (C) provide high hardness and corrosion resistance, while the addition of alloying elements 1.3% molybdenum (Mo), 0.8% silicon (Si), 0.12% vanadium (V) increase strength and wear resistance. 9Cr18MoV is characterized by high hardness in the range of 58-60 HRC. Used in the manufacture of knives, including damascus and surgical blades, swords, scissors, cutlery.
Blade - with a recurve kukri profile is distinguished by a clearly curved cutting edge and a dynamically descending back line. The negative angle of the blade relative to the handle increases the force of impact during drawn cuts, generating leverage and improving material penetration. This configuration is conducive to working in cardboard, plastics and fibrous materials, where continuity and aggressiveness of the cut count. The flat grind used creates a thin, efficient cross-sectional geometry, ensuring smooth passage through the material and reducing drag. The full flat grind promotes control of the cutting path while maintaining adequate structural stability of the blade. The satin finish reduces light reflections and emphasizes the tool's utilitarian nature. Spyderco's distinctive bore allows for quick, ambidextrous opening, and milling on the back (jimping) improves control for precision tasks requiring thumb pressure.
Handle - the design is based on steel liners, which increase the rigidity of the entire platform and ensure stable operation of the LinerLock. Textured G10 composite grips provide a high level of grip even in wet conditions. The shape of the Handle has been clearly contoured for the fingers, which stabilizes the hand when working with the curved cutting edge and allows to fully exploit the potential of the blade geometry. A wire deep-carry clip, mounted in a tip-up configuration with a switchback, allows for discreet and secure carrying. The lanyard hole has been reinforced with a steel sleeve, increasing durability when used with a safety line. The Spyderco Retract remains a design in which blade geometry, ergonomics and functionality form a cohesive whole - designed for real, everyday use loads.
