145,49 €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.

Karambit - kind of knife that was born in Indonesia, with roots dating back to Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade, which is very effective in cutting - it mimics the way an eagle or a tiger's claw is torn apart. Used as a work knife and for defense.
Emerson Opener (Emerson Wave) - patented by Ernest Emerson, placed on the spine of the blade - a hook allowing for quick opening of the blade when removing the knife from the pocket by hooking the hook to the edge of the pocket.
N690Co - high carbon stainless steel with cobalt addition for structural uniformity. Hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. Manufactured in the Austrian Böhler-Uddeholm steelworks.
Idroglider® Black - scratch-resistant, matte, non-reflective coating made of PTFE. Provides long blade life and resistance to rust.
Blade - with an aggressive Hawkbill profile, the rounded shape of the blade is characterized by great efficiency and cutting speed. The Hawkbill profile mimics the way an eagle claw or tiger claw tears, pierces and cuts simultaneously. Smooth blade (Plain type) with an ultra-thin tip and perfect curvature for maximum cutting capacity. The oval cut in the blade has increased the hump of the thumb rest (ramp), which positions the thumb directly over the opening, allowing the knife to be opened quickly even with the glove. Blockade Liner-Lock type.
Handle - non-slip linings with a Rouge type texture for better grip. Made of durable, resistant to mechanical damage, chemicals and low temperatures G10 material. They do not conduct electricity, they prevent the gloves from freezing to the covers. Open-backed design reduces weight, simplifies cleaning. Spine jimping notches on the back of the handle for a secure grip. Mounting clip (left / right) for carrying the knife in the tip-up position with the tip up. The handle ends with a polished ring (Back Ring) made of T6-6082 aviation aluminum. Makes it easy to rotate the folder around your finger, allowing you to perform traditional techniques.
