53,56 €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 Madrac Black Norplex UltreX Micarta – a compact EDC folder with Nitro-V
Kizer Madrac Black Norplex UltreX Micarta, Satin Nitro-V by Matteo Pignatelli (V3693A3) is an EDC folding knife featuring a Sheepsfoot blade, a Norplex UltreX™ Micarta handle, and a Clutch Lock. Matteo Pignatelli’s design combines a compact form with a full-size grip, making it comfortable for everyday tasks.
Opening via the double-sided Thumb Stud allows you to quickly prepare the knife for use, and the reversible tip-up clip lets you adjust the carrying side. The blade works well for cutting cardboard, tape, packaging, cord, and plastics.
Nitro-V – Stainless Steel for Everyday Use
Nitro-V is a stainless steel prized for its good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and edge stability. A hardness of 59–61 HRC provides a favorable balance between edge retention and ease of maintenance.
The Satin finish gives the blade a clean, functional look and complements the dark Micarta handle well. This configuration is designed for everyday functionality without excessive weight.
Sheepsfoot and flat grind – precision and cutting control
The Sheepsfoot profile provides good control over the cutting edge and reduces the risk of accidentally piercing the material. This geometry is particularly practical for opening packages, cutting tape, and working with lightweight utility materials.
The Flat grind facilitates smooth gliding of the blade through the material. The combination of the Sheepsfoot profile and the thin geometry at the edge creates a practical setup for everyday EDC tasks.
Black Norplex UltreX Micarta and Clutch Lock
The handle made of Norplex UltreX™ Micarta provides a pleasant, slightly textured grip surface. The black variant complements the technical character of the design, and the material fits comfortably in the hand during regular use.
The Clutch Lock stabilizes the blade when open and allows for easy blade release when folding. The reversible tip-up clip makes it easy to carry in either the right or left pocket on a daily basis.
