420,94 €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.

RWL34 is a steel produced by powder metallurgy based on ATS34 steel. ATS34 steel was developed by Japan's Kobe Steel for ball joint applications. Internationally renowned knife maker Robert W. Loveless began using this Japanese steel for knives because of its amazing properties. Damasteel has improved the properties of ATS34 steel by powder metallurgy, producing a purer material. The version produced by powder metallurgy was given the name RWL after Loveless.
Blade - sheepsfoot type, finished in a strikingly elegant Satin method. The gently curved belly extends the length of the cutting edge in relation to the length of the blade converging towards the needle-sharp tip of the knife. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Multi-row ball bearings ensure an extremely smooth opening of the blade by means of a hole in the wedge (thumb hole). A section of the blade's back above the hole creates a thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel insert to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - made of 6AL4V titanium, an artful series of recesses adds character and provides a more secure grip. Contouring of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The simplicity and sturdiness of the design give assurance of many years of use. The single-position (right) clip, milled from a single piece of titanium, allows the knife to be carried in the tip-up position. Behind the clip there is a place to thread a safety or decorative cord.
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with the manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
