71,75 €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.
Kizer Snail-Trail Gray Aluminum – M390 and Damascus Titanium in Miniature Form
Kizer Snail-Trail Gray Aluminum, Satin M390 by Caleb Waldman (Ki2757A1) is an ultra-compact Detent Slip Joint folding knife, featuring an Hawkbill blade made of M390 steel, a gray aluminum handle, and a decorative pivot collar made of Damascus titanium.
This model retains the character of the Snail-Trail series as a lightweight “5th Pocket Coin Knife,” but utilizes M390 steel for greater wear resistance. The two lanyards included in the set make it easy to attach the knife to your keys, organizer, or EDC gear.
M390 – High-Grade Stainless Steel
M390 is a stainless steel valued for its high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and long-lasting sharpness. A hardness of 59–60 HRC ensures edge durability during light, precision tasks.
The Satin finish gives the small blade a clean look and contrasts well with the gray aluminum.
Hawkbill and Flat Grind
The Hawkbill profile features a curved edge, suitable for precisely cutting ropes, packaging, tape, and plastic wrap.
The Flat grind supports the effective use of the small blade during everyday tasks.
Gray Aluminum and Titanium Damascus Pivot Collar
The Aluminum handle in Gray maintains the minimalist and technical character of the design. Its light weight of 30.50 g makes this model well-suited for discreet carrying.
The Titanium Damascus Pivot Collar serves as a decorative detail that visually sets the M390 variant apart. The Detent Slip Joint mechanism is not a traditional lock, so it requires careful handling.
