178,48 €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.
F4 Echo Zastava Black Aluminum/Black G10, Titanium-Coated is a contemporary EDC folder designed in the spirit of technological minimalism and functional precision in cooperation with the engineers of the Zastava Arms USA factory . Tekto builds this design around a clean, geometric form in which every element is subordinated to speed of use and control of work. This is a premium folding knife designed for users who want modern design, lightweight construction and a distinctly technical feel without unnecessary embellishments. Blade made of CPM S35VN steel with reverse tanto profile , offers a reinforced tip and a clear, angular back line. This geometry provides high control when working with the tip and stability for tasks requiring precise contact with the material. The flat grind used allows the blade to penetrate smoothly into the material and maintain good control of the cutting path in typical EDC tasks. The black titanium-based coating enhances surface wear resistance and reduces light reflections, emphasizing the tactical nature of the design. The Handle combines anodized aluminum with a G10 composite inlay, creating a rigid and lightweight working platform. The inlays are made in colors identical to the stock and bed of the legendary AK M70 rifles produced at Zastava plants. A slim profile, pronounced relief milling and an ergonomic finger undercut enhance grip control. The button lock mechanism provides fast, intuitive one-handed operation and stable blade locking. The F4 Echo Zastava is an EDC folder designed for users who appreciate modern tactical knives with high operating culture and predictable mechanics.
CPM S35VN - American martensitic high-alloy stainless steel with a hardness of 59-61 HRC, one of the best blade steels. Designed to provide better strength compared to CPM S30V, while keeping corrosion resistance at the highest level. Produced by US Crucible Industries using 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. The chemical composition has been balanced so that it is composed of 0.5% niobium carbides (Nb) along with 3.0% vanadium (V) and 14.0% chromium (Cr) carbides. Replacing some of the niobium carbides with vanadium carbides makes the steel about 15-20% harder than S30V without sacrificing wear resistance, and it is also easier to machine and polish. The improved strength of CPM S35VN also provides better resistance to edge chipping.
Blade - reverse tanto profile gives the blade a distinctive angular geometry with a reinforced tip section. This design increases resistance to overload during point work and provides high control for precision cuts. The pronounced break of the back line allows for stable blade guidance in tasks requiring accuracy. The flat grind used creates an efficient cross-sectional geometry, enabling smooth and predictable cutting of materials with varying textures. This grind promotes good penetration while keeping the blade stable in the axis of the structure. A black titanium-based coating enhances surface resistance and reduces the visibility of wear marks. The back is equipped with a thumb milling (jimping), improving control when applying pressure. For stable locking is responsible for the button lock mechanism, providing a secure lockup and smooth, controlled release of the lock.
Handle - the design is based on a combination of anodized aluminum with an inlay of G10 composite, which allows to achieve high rigidity while maintaining low weight. The geometric, slim form is conducive to discreet carrying in the pocket, while providing a stable grip while working. Milled cutouts reduce weight and enhance the model's technical aesthetics. The textured G10 surface improves grip in the hand, even during prolonged use or in conditions of limited control. An integrated deep-carry clip allows for discreet carry, while the compact architecture of the Handle ensures that the model remains comfortable for everyday carry. The F4 Echo Zastava is a design in which tactical aesthetics and utilitarian functionality create a cohesive, modern premium EDC knife.
