62,37 €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 Whiskey Jack Black/Multicolored Vortex Micarta, Black Crucible CPM 10V by Jonathan Styles – a compact fixed-blade knife
The Kizer Whiskey Jack 1108A1 is a compact fixed-blade knife designed by Jonathan Styles, intended as a lightweight tool for everyday carry and field work. The short Drop Point blade, black finish, and handle made of multicolored Vortex Pattern Micarta create a functional design with a distinctive character.
The weight-reducing Skeletonized Tang construction reduces the knife’s weight while maintaining full steel continuity between the blade and the handle. The model comes with a Kydex sheath, and the Tek Lok attachment system makes it easy to customize how it’s carried on a belt, in gear, or on a modular system.
Crucible CPM 10V – steel with high wear resistance
The blade is made of Crucible CPM 10V steel with a hardness of 60–62 HRC. This tool steel is valued for its very high resistance to abrasion and its ability to maintain a sharp edge for a long time during demanding cutting tasks. After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly; use high-performance abrasives, especially diamond ones, for sharpening.
Drop Point and Flat Grind
The Drop Point profile provides versatile geometry for everyday cutting tasks, while the distinctly lowered tip enhances blade control during more precise work. The flat grind helps achieve smooth cuts through cardboard, cord, plastics, and other lightweight materials. The black blade finish emphasizes the model’s utilitarian, outdoor character.
Vortex Micarta and Skeletonized Tang Construction
The handle is made of Vortex Pattern Micarta in a black-and-multicolored configuration. The material provides a slightly textured grip surface, and the arrangement of colored layers may vary between individual knives. The Skeletonized Tang construction utilizes a lightweight tang running the entire length of the handle, allowing the knife to maintain a stable structure while remaining lightweight.
