35,41 €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.
Whalefin Purple G10, Black PVD is a refined EDC folder designed with a focus on everyday functionality, smooth operation, and a modern, clean aesthetic. The model’s sleek, dynamic lines make it ideal for everyday carry—from office tasks to light outdoor use. The knife’s silhouette has been designed with clear ergonomic considerations. The gently contoured handle fits naturally in the hand, and the subtle taper in the middle section improves grip control. The distinctive relief hole in the blade serves both a functional and aesthetic purpose, emphasizing the model’s modern character. In everyday use, the Whalefin is particularly well-suited as an EDC knife for those who value ease of use, reliability, and a technical yet understated design. The use of D2 tool steel, a button lock, and G10 composite scales ensures the model offers an excellent balance between durability, comfort, and an attractive price.
D2 - a high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. Thanks to its high chromium content of 13.0% (Cr), it offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. A combination of strength, excellent edge retention, and easy sharpening. It is characterized by high abrasion resistance due to the high carbide content in the microstructure.
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) – the surface resistance of the blade and cutting edge has been enhanced using a vacuum deposition method applied to deposit thin layers by condensing the vaporized form of the desired material onto the surface of the workpiece. The coating method involves a purely physical process, such as high-temperature vacuum evaporation followed by condensation. The applied coating has very high hardness, which significantly increases the blade’s resistance to rust and abrasive wear.
Blade - drop point. The gently sloping spine and wide blade belly ensure high versatility—from precise cuts to more demanding utility work. This geometry works well for opening packages, cutting cardboard, tape, cord, or synthetic materials. The flat grind improves cutting efficiency, ensuring smooth entry of the blade into the material and good control. In practice, this translates to very predictable knife behavior in everyday use. The black PVD coating helps mask minor signs of wear, which is important when carrying the knife regularly. Safety is ensured by the button lock, which allows for quick, intuitive one-handed opening and closing.
The handle—made of G10 composite—was designed with a focus on ergonomics and a secure grip. The fine texture of the material improves hand grip, increasing control during use even with damp fingers. The handle profile features a very well-thought-out design—a gentle curve improves comfort during extended use, while the widened rear section stabilizes the grip under heavier pressure. This design works well for both a classic working grip and precise blade control. Also noteworthy is the deep carry clip, which allows for discreet carrying of the knife deep in a pocket. The manufacturer has provided for both left- and right-side mounting, which significantly increases the model’s versatility. The result is a very cohesive, modern folding knife for everyday carry, combining practicality, comfort, and the technical aesthetics characteristic of contemporary EDC folders.
