0,00 €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.
MAM Iberica S Blade Lock 2011-LW is a lightweight folding knife with a liner lock, made of 420 steel and beech wood, designed for everyday carry (EDC) and utility tasks.
In everyday use, it’s not just functionality that matters, but also weight and ease of use.

This model performs well in tasks such as outdoor food preparation, light utility work, or daily EDC, where comfort and intuitiveness are priorities.
The manufacturer, MAM Knives, operating in Portugal since 1870, bases its designs on a tradition of craftsmanship and proven solutions. The 420 stainless steel blade, with a hardness of approximately 57 HRC, ensures corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.

Why does the lightweight trailing point blade with a flat grind matter in the MAM Iberica S Blade Lock?
The blade with a trailing point profile and flat grind was designed for precise, everyday tasks. This geometry supports precise control when working with food and soft materials, while ensuring good stability of the cutting edge. The 1.5 mm blade thickness facilitates easy entry into the material, which is important for light utility work. The satin finish minimizes the visibility of wear marks and makes it easier to maintain the knife’s aesthetic appeal.
How does the MAM Iberica S Blade Lock perform as an ultralight EDC knife?
The beechwood handle ensures a natural hand position and comfort during everyday tasks. Its slim design and length of approximately 90 mm allow for comfortable handling without excessive strain on the hand. The total length of 162 mm keeps the model compact and easy to carry. The use of a liner lock increases safety compared to classic non-locking designs, while maintaining ease of use.
