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.
Kizer Meteora Blue Canyon Richlite – Nitro-V with Pressed Paper Handle
Kizer Meteora Blue Canyon Richlite, Black PVD Nitro-V by Evgeniy Bulychev (V3730A3) is a full-size EDC folder featuring a Drop Point blade, a Blue Canyon-colored Richlite handle, and a Liner Lock. The model retains the functional geometry of the Meteora but stands out with its lighter construction and distinctive handle material.
The Nitro-V steel blade features a black PVD coating, and the thumb stud allows for quick deployment. The reversible deep-carry clip enables the folder to be carried on either the right or left side of a pocket.
Nitro-V – Stainless Steel for Everyday Cutting
Nitro-V is a stainless steel that offers good corrosion resistance, easy maintenance, and a stable cutting edge. A hardness of 60–61 HRC ensures the blade’s durability during regular use.
The black Black PVD Coating accentuates the blade’s technical look and contrasts with the blue finish of the Handle.
Drop Point and Flat – Versatile Geometry for EDC
The Drop Point profile works well for cutting through cardboard, tape, packaging, cord, and lightweight utility materials. The stable tip also aids in making more precise cuts.
The Flat grind allows the blade to glide smoothly through the material and reduces resistance during everyday tasks.
Blue Canyon Richlite – What Is Richlite?
Richlite is a composite material made from layers of resin-soaked paper pressed under high pressure. As a result, it combines low weight, durability, and a distinctive, slightly matte surface texture.
In the Blue Canyon variant, the Richlite handle gives the Meteora a more distinctive color scheme. The material provides a comfortable grip, and its layered structure visually sets it apart from aluminum, G10, or Micarta.
Liner Lock and an EDC-friendly design
The Liner Lock stabilizes the blade when open and allows for controlled release when folding. The right/left tip-up clip lets you customize how you carry the knife to suit your preferences.
Weighing 104.30 g, this model is significantly lighter than the aluminum version, while retaining its full-size length and practical Drop Point blade.
