8,80 €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.
Martinez Albainox Balisong Red Aluminum, Black 3Cr13Mov (02098)
The Martinez Albainox Balisong 02098 is a full-size butterfly knife featuring a red aluminum handle and a black blade made of 3Cr13Mov steel. The Sword Tip profile, partially serrated edge, and contrasting color scheme give the design a more modern and visually aggressive character.
The model has a total length of 229.00 mm and a blade length of 100.00 mm. The manual balisong mechanism relies on two rotating Handle parts, and when closed, the design is stabilized by a Lock on Handle lock.
3Cr13Mov, Sword Tip profile, and black finish
The blade is made of 3Cr13Mov steel and finished in black. The Sword Tip profile creates a distinctly defined, slender tip, while part of the edge features serrations to facilitate cutting through materials that require a more aggressive cut.
Manual balisong design
The knife is opened by rotating the two handle sections around an axis. When open, they form a full grip, and when closed, they shield the blade. The design is complemented by a Lock-on-Handle mechanism.
Red aluminum and steel structural elements
The handle is made of aluminum with a red finish and complemented by steel structural elements. The combination of red with the black blade gives the model a striking visual contrast and sets it apart from the more classic Albainox balisong variants.
