59,10 €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 Ursa Major Black Micarta, Satin Nitro-V by Maksim Epifantsev – a full-tang fixed-blade knife for outdoor use
The Kizer Ursa Major 1082A3 is a sturdy fixed-blade knife designed by Maksim Epifantsev, built for outdoor, camping, and utility work. The long Clip Point blade, black Micarta handle, and Full Tang construction combine to create a tool with a rugged, outdoor-ready character.
This model combines a classic blade profile with practical materials used in utility knives. The satin finish on the Nitro-V steel highlights the clean lines of the design, and the Kydex sheath with a Tek Lok attachment allows you to comfortably carry the knife on your belt or gear.
Nitro-V – Stainless Steel for Outdoor Use
The blade is made of Nitro-V stainless steel with a hardness of 60–62 HRC. This grade performs well in utility knives, offering a favorable combination of corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening, and the ability to achieve a sharp cutting edge. After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly.
Clip Point and Utility Blade Geometry
The Clip Point profile features a distinctly defined tip that supports more precise blade control during cutting, material preparation, and tasks requiring greater control. The satin finish gives the blade a classic, technical look and complements the rugged style of the handle well.
Black Micarta and Full Tang Construction
The handle is made of black Micarta, a material with a slightly textured grip surface. The Full Tang construction means that the steel blade tang extends the entire length of the handle, creating a solid foundation for the knife. This design is well-suited to the nature of a model intended for regular outdoor use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Nitro-V steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Nitro-V responds well to regular sharpening with whetstones, ceramic sharpeners, or a guided sharpening system, which helps maintain a sharp cutting edge.
What does “Full Tang” construction mean?
Full Tang means that the blade tang extends the entire length of the Handle. The steel thus forms a continuous structural base from the blade to the end of the Handle.
What is a Clip Point blade good for?
The Clip Point profile works well for tasks requiring tip control, such as cutting cord, preparing materials, small camping tasks, and utility work.
What are the benefits of a Micarta handle?
Micarta is a material used in utility knives due to its practical grip surface and distinctive appearance. With normal use, its surface may develop a unique character over time.
How do you care for a Kydex sheath?
A Kydex sheath can be cleaned with a soft cloth and water mixed with a mild detergent. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly and remove any sand or fine debris from the interior that could scratch the blade.
