197,87 €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.
KB Knives Agera Gray Titanium, Sandblasting M390 by Utilizator (KB437A) is a compact premium EDC folder featuring a Drop Point blade, Böhler M390 steel, and a titanium handle with a Maze Pattern Milling design.
KB Knives Agera – a compact EDC folder designed by Utilizator
KB Knives Agera Gray Titanium, Sandblasting M390 by Utilizator (KB437A) combines the compact proportions of an EDC folder with a precision-milled titanium handle. Utilizator’s design features a Drop Point blade, a Frame Lock, and ceramic ball bearings, creating a folding knife with a technical character and smooth operation. The Gray Sandblasted / Maze Pattern Milling finish gives the handle a distinctive texture while maintaining the understated, functional aesthetic characteristic of premium folding knives.
The blade is made of Böhler M390 powder steel, which has undergone vacuum heat treatment and a cryogenic process. A hardness of 60–62 HRC ensures long-lasting sharpness, and the flat grind allows the blade to cut smoothly through cardboard, ropes, packaging, and plastics. The Sandblasting finish gives the surface a uniform, matte texture. Opening via front flipper or thumb studs gives the user two methods of manual operation.
Böhler M390 Drop Point blade
The Drop Point profile provides a versatile combination of a strong tip, good cutting control, and a practical cutting edge length. This geometry works well for everyday EDC tasks, such as cutting through cardboard, packaging, ropes, and synthetic materials. The flat grind reduces resistance in the material and facilitates predictable blade guidance. The Sandblasting finish enhances the blade’s technical character and reduces intense light reflections.
Böhler M390 is a premium powder-metallurgy steel, valued for its excellent corrosion resistance, high wear resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. Vacuum treatment and cryogenic annealing enhance edge stability at a hardness of 60–62 HRC. In practice, this means a blade well-suited for a compact premium folder designed to retain its sharpness with regular use.
Titanium Maze Pattern Milling Handle and Frame Lock
The handle, made of Titanium, ensures high rigidity, mechanical strength, and a favorable strength-to-weight ratio. The Gray Sandblasted / Maze Pattern Milling finish combines a matte surface with geometric milling, which gives the design visual depth and supports a more secure grip. The titanium backspacer and clip maintain the material consistency of the entire folder.
The Frame Lock utilizes a spring-loaded section of the titanium handle to stabilize the blade when open. Ceramic ball bearings ensure smooth pivot operation, while the front flipper and thumb studs allow the user to choose their preferred opening method. The right-hand, tip-up titanium clip allows for everyday carry in a right-hand pocket, while the Pouch protects the knife during transport and storage.
