0,00 €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 A950 Red ABS, Satin AISI 420 – lightweight Slip Joint folding knife with a Clip Point blade
The MAC A950 Red ABS, Satin AISI 420 folding knife (MC A950.R) is a lightweight everyday-use folder featuring a Clip Point blade, a red ABS handle, and a traditional slip joint mechanism. Its simple design, two-handed opening, and weight of 60.00 g make this model well-suited as a handy knife for basic tasks.
The blade opens using a classic Nail Nick. The Slip Joint mechanism uses a spring to hold the blade in both the open and closed positions, but it does not function as a classic mechanical lock. The design has no clip, allowing it to retain a simple, traditional form.
AISI 420 – easy maintenance and sharpening
The blade is made of AISI 420 stainless steel with a hardness of 52–54 HRC. The material provides good corrosion resistance and allows for easy resharpening. It works well for opening packages, cutting paper, tape, string, and other lightweight materials.
Clip Point, Full Flat, and Satin
The Clip Point profile features a slender, precisely shaped tip and a versatile cutting edge. The Full Flat grind ensures smooth cutting along the entire length of the blade, while the Satin finish gives the surface a subdued, classic look.
Red ABS and traditional Slip Joint mechanism
The handle is made of red ABS plastic, which is resistant to moisture, weather conditions, and everyday use. The textured surface enhances grip control, and the Slip Joint mechanism allows for easy operation without an additional lever or release button.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I care for AISI 420 steel?
After use, clean the blade and dry it thoroughly. For long-term storage, you can protect it with a thin layer of a suitable preservative, especially after contact with moisture or food substances.
How do you sharpen a blade with a Full Flat grind?
The smooth edge is best sharpened on water, ceramic, or diamond stones while maintaining a consistent angle. The Full Flat grind does not require a special technique, but it’s best to guide the blade evenly along the entire length of the edge.
How does the Slip Joint mechanism work?
The Slip Joint uses a spring that holds the blade in both the open and closed positions. The mechanism does not lock the blade rigidly in place, so you should avoid applying pressure to the spine of the blade while using it.
How do you open the knife using the Nail Nick?
Grip the Nail Nick with your fingernail and spread the blade open with both hands. The opening motion is smooth and controlled, without a spring assist or automatic mechanism.
What are the properties of the ABS handle?
ABS is a lightweight plastic that is resistant to moisture, everyday use, and many common chemicals. The handle can be cleaned with water and a mild detergent, then dried thoroughly.
