57,33 €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.
MAC Coltellerie Gunster Skeletonized, Satin MA5 by Moris Baroni – a lightweight diving knife with a skeletonized design
The MAC Coltellerie Gunster Skeletonized, Satin MA5 by Moris Baroni (GNR11) is a diving knife with a fixed blade and a skeletonized handle, made of MA5 steel. The absence of separate grips reduces the weight of the construction, makes rinsing easier, and limits the number of places where salt, sand, and sediment can accumulate.
This model retains all the features of the Gunster series: a Dagger blade, Plain/Serrated edge, a shackle socket, a harpoon shaft straightening tool, a hammer in the pommel, a lanyard hole, and a 360° rotating sheath with the Compression-Lock system.
MA5 – Integrated Blade and Handle Design
The blade and skeletonized handle are made of MA5 stainless steel with a hardness of 56–58 HRC. The monolithic construction facilitates cleaning and reduces the weight to 100.00 g. After contact with salt water, the entire knife should be rinsed and thoroughly dried.
Dagger, Flat, and two cutting edges
The Dagger profile features a distinct tip and technical geometry. The smooth edge is designed for more precise work, while the serrated section is ideal for ropes, straps, nets, and fibrous materials. The Flat grind ensures consistent cutting performance.
Skeletonized and 360° rotating sheath
The skeletonized handle reduces weight and facilitates water drainage. The structural holes can also be used for additional braiding. The rotating sheath allows you to position the knife comfortably, and the Compression-Lock prevents it from accidentally sliding out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for the MA5 skeleton knife?
After use, rinse the entire knife with fresh water, clean any sand or debris from the handle openings, and then thoroughly dry the knife before placing it in its sheath.
What are the advantages of the skeletonized design?
The skeletonized handle reduces weight, facilitates water drainage, and simplifies cleaning. It also allows for the addition of extra wrap to improve grip comfort.
What are the slots in the Blade for?
One slot is for the shackle, and the other allows you to straighten slightly bent harpoon shafts.
How does the knife lock in the sheath work?
The Compression-Lock system uses spring-loaded components to secure the knife. Compressing these components releases the blade, allowing you to remove it from the sheath.
How does the Skeletonized version differ from the FRN and Micarta versions?
The Skeletonized version has no separate grips and is the lightest. FRN provides a synthetic, moisture-resistant handle, while Micarta offers a more textured surface and a distinctive look.
