288,20 €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.
Vestige Grey Titanium/Natural Micarta, Stonewashed, a large, lightweight and flat EDC folder. The work of designer and knifemaker Justin Lundquist. Made of the highest quality materials, the blade of the knife is made of CPM MagnaCut steel considered one of the best on the knife market. This steel is known for its strength, long sharpness retention and incredible resistance to rusting, making this knife an extremely effective tool. The Handle is made of titanium and Micarta composite, which ensures a secure grip, even in the toughest conditions.
Justin Lundquist - his fascination began when he received his first knife from his mother when he was just 4 years old. It was a small fixed blade as a complement to his fishing gear and toolbox. Over the following years, he amassed a small collection of inexpensive production knives. He was always attracted to a variety of shapes and designs, while maintaining the functionality of utilitarian tools. After studying Fine Art Photography and working in the industry for over a decade, he accidentally stumbled into the world of handmade custom knives. He gathered as much information as possible and began designing and creating knives on his own. In 2013, he slowly started making his own knives. He strives to create practical EDC knives with clean lines, shapes and transitions. Mixing the classic with the modern, he hopes to create designs that will stand the test of time.
CPM MagnaCut - Powdered stainless steel produced using the Crucible® Particle Metallurgy (CPM) process hardened to 60.5-62.5 HRC. The high content of vanadium 4.0% (V), molybdenum 2.0% (Mo) and niobium 2.0% (Nb) guarantees accuracy and purity unmatched by more “conventional” steels. Designed and developed specifically for blade production by Larrin Thomas, it meets all the requirements of knife enthusiasts. With CPM, MagnaCut was able to create a steel that combines unique properties like no other knife steel. The result is a blade material that offers a remarkable balance of wear resistance, strength and corrosion resistance. There is no other steel on the world market today that offers a comparable combination of superior properties. This unique steel is produced at Crucible® Industries' American steel mills.
Blade - wide, Clip Point type, finished with a scratch-masking bath of fine Stonewashed pebbles. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a quick index-finger flipper when opened acting as a stag. A section of the blade's back is covered with an upper jimping, notched thumb rest for easy control of the knife. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular frame lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - flat, made of solid 6AL4V titanium with a perfectly integrated Micarta composite inlay. Chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges for comfort and improve grip security. The solid titanium backspacer to which the grips are attached guarantees the rigidity and strength of the entire structure. A single-position, right-handed titanium clip allows the knife to be carried in tip-up position, with the tip of the blade upward. In the recess of the backspacer a hidden place for threading a safety or decorative cord.
Case - included zippered soft nylon case with manufacturer's logo for safe storage and transportation of the folder.
