36,24 €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 Amicus Black G10, Black 9Cr18MoV by Azo – a compact EDC folder with a Button Lock
The Kizer Amicus L3002A1 is a compact folding knife designed by Azo, intended as a practical EDC folder for everyday carry. The Drop Point blade, black finish, and black G10 handle create a simple, functional configuration for light cutting tasks.
The model features a Button Lock mechanism, Flipper opening, and a reversible deep-carry clip. Ball bearings ensure smooth blade deployment, and the jimping on the flipper improves finger control when initiating the blade’s movement.
9Cr18MoV – Stainless Steel for Basic EDC
The blade is made of 9Cr18MoV stainless steel. This grade is used in utility knives and is suitable for everyday tasks such as opening packages, cutting cardboard, tape, and lightweight materials. After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly, and to resharpen the edge regularly.
Drop Point and flat grind
The Drop Point profile provides a versatile geometry for everyday cutting. It works well for tasks requiring tip control and comfortable guidance of the cutting edge. The flat grind facilitates efficient cutting of everyday materials, and the black finish on the blade gives the model a technical, understated look.
Black G10, Button Lock, and deep-carry clip
The handle made of black G10 provides a durable, practical grip surface. The Button Lock stabilizes the blade when open and allows for convenient release of the mechanism with a push of a button. The right/left tip-up clip allows you to adjust the carrying side, and when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward.
