73,51 €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.

A shackle socket, a harpoon shaft straightening tool, a hammer in the head, and a lanyard hole expand the design’s functionality. The sheath can be adjusted to the desired angle and secured to the hand, leg, belt, or compatible equipment.
MA5 – steel with a hardness of 56–58 HRC

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for the MA5 steel and the Micarta handle?
After diving, rinse the knife with fresh water. The blade and Micarta grips must be thoroughly dried, paying special attention to the areas around the screws and the edges of the handle.
How does Micarta differ from FRN?
Micarta has a more natural, fibrous texture and a distinctive appearance. FRN is a lighter synthetic material that is moisture-resistant and easy to clean.
How do you use a spear shaft straightener?
The bent section of the metal shaft is placed in a specially contoured slot, and then controlled pressure is applied in the opposite direction of the bend.
How does the Compression-Lock sheath work?
Spring-loaded locking elements hold the knife in the sheath. Compressing them releases the mechanism and allows for quick removal of the blade.
How do you clean a serrated edge?
Rinse the serrations to remove salt, sand, and fibers. For more thorough cleaning, use a soft brush, and for sharpening, use a matching ceramic rod.
