146,95 €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 Nebula Fat Carbon Ki3693A1 – an EDC folder featuring Crucible CPM S45VN steel and a Button Liner Lock™
The Kizer Madrac Ki3693A1 is a modern EDC folding knife designed by Matteo Pignatelli, combining a functional Sheepsfoot blade with a striking handle made of Nebula Fat Carbon composite. The striking fiber color scheme, matte Ultra DLC coating, and compact design make this model a perfect blend of everyday utility and collector’s appeal.
The blade, made of Crucible CPM S45VN steel, features a thumb stud opening mechanism and a Kizer Button Liner Lock™ lock, creating a practical combination for regular use. The knife is also equipped with a reversible deep-carry clip, allowing you to comfortably adjust the carrying side to your preferences.
Crucible CPM S45VN – Steel for Demanding EDC
The blade is made of Crucible CPM S45VN stainless steel with a hardness of 60–61 HRC. This steel grade offers high wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, and consistent edge retention during everyday use. For sharpening, it is best to use high-quality abrasives, particularly diamond stones, ceramic sharpeners, or a guided sharpening system.
Sheepsfoot, hollow grind, and Matte DLC Ultra
The Sheepsfoot profile is characterized by a sloping spine and a highly functional cutting edge geometry. This design works well for controlled cutting of cardboard, tape, cord, and other lightweight materials. The hollow grind ensures smooth blade guidance, while the matte DLC Ultra coating gives the blade a uniform, technical look.
Nebula Fat Carbon, Button Liner Lock™, and Thumb Stud
The handle is made of Nebula Fat Carbon composite, whose pattern combines a dark base with accents of white, red, and blue. The fiber pattern may vary between individual knives, giving each one a unique look. The aluminum Thumb Stud allows for comfortable one-handed opening, and the aluminum button releases the Kizer Button Liner Lock™. Jimping on the spine of the blade improves thumb control during cutting.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for and sharpen Crucible CPM S45VN steel?
After use, it’s a good idea to clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. Diamond stones, ceramic stones, and guided sharpening systems work well for sharpening CPM S45VN, as they help maintain the even geometry of the cutting edge.
How does the Kizer Button Liner Lock™ work?
It is a liner lock that is released by pressing a button. When the blade is opened, the liner stabilizes the blade, and pressing the button allows you to move the locking element aside and safely begin folding the knife.
What is the Sheepsfoot blade best suited for?
The Sheepsfoot profile works well for controlled cutting of cardboard, tape, cord, and other lightweight materials. The sloping spine helps reduce the risk of accidentally piercing the material with the tip.
What makes the Nebula Fat Carbon stand out?
Nebula Fat Carbon is a fiber composite with a decorative pattern. The arrangement of the fibers and color accents may vary from knife to knife, so each knife may look slightly different.
What does a tip-up clip mean?
A tip-up configuration means that when the knife is closed, the tip of the blade points upward. The clip can be mounted on the right or left side of the Handle.
