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 Coltellerie Aquatys 3 Black PP-TPE, PTFE Blue Camu Stainless Steel W 1.4116 – diving knife with a Drop Point blade
The Mac Coltellerie Aquatys 3 Black PP-TPE, PTFE Blue Camu Stainless Steel W 1.4116 (AQT12-3.N) is a diving knife with a fixed blade, designed for emergency and utility applications underwater. The model features a Drop Point blade with a smooth and serrated edge, a PP-TPE handle, and a black ABS sheath with two rubber straps.
The Blue Camu PTFE coating gives the blade a distinctive blue camouflage pattern and reduces surface friction. The contoured TPE grip enhances grip control in wet conditions, while the steel hammer at the end of the handle expands the knife’s functionality to include emergency and signaling applications.
W 1.4116 – stainless steel for aquatic environments
W 1.4116 stainless steel, with a hardness of 55–56 HRC, combines good corrosion resistance with ease of sharpening and maintenance. The material’s properties meet the needs of a diving knife, which may require quick restoration of a sharp edge even outside of a professional service center.
Drop Point, Flat, and Plain / Serrated Three-Step
The Drop Point profile provides a versatile blade geometry and a functional tip. The Flat grind supports efficient cutting, and the two edge zones allow you to adapt your cutting style to the material. The smooth section is used for controlled cuts, while the Three-Step serrations make it easier to cut through ropes, nets, straps, and webbing.
PTFE Blue Camu and contoured handle
The PTFE Blue Camu coating reduces friction and prevents the material being cut from sticking, while also providing an additional layer on the steel surface. The black handle made of PP and TPE ensures a rigid construction and a grippy surface. The ABS sheath features water drainage holes and a safety lock to secure the knife while on the move.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I protect the Aquatys 3 knife from corrosion?
After diving, rinse the knife thoroughly with fresh water to remove salt and deposits, then dry the blade, handle, and sheath. The PTFE coating is not a substitute for regular maintenance.
How does the Three-Step serrated edge work?
The arrangement of teeth with varying shapes makes it easier to grip and cut fibrous materials. The serrated edge works well when working with ropes, nets, straps, belts, and thick synthetic fabrics.
How does PTFE Blue Camu differ from IDROGLIDER GOLD® Black?
PTFE Blue Camu features a blue camouflage pattern and a surface that reduces friction and material adhesion. IDROGLIDER GOLD® Black stands out with its uniform black finish that minimizes glare. Both surfaces require rinsing and drying after use.
Where can the sheath be attached?
Two rubber straps allow the sheath to be attached to your arm or leg. The sheath can also be attached to a compatible component of a diving vest, ensuring easy access and a stable position.
How do you maintain the PP-TPE handle?
The handle should be rinsed along with the knife after every exposure to saltwater. Sand and deposits can be removed with a soft brush and mild detergent, and the surface should then be thoroughly dried.
