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.

LC200N - (also known as Z-Flint) ultra-corrosion resistant modern martensitic tool steel with a high nitrogen content. Fairly hard (60 HRC), it provides a combination of excellent strength, edge retention, chipping resistance and extreme corrosion resistance. Produced by combining the PESR process (pressurized electric slag remelting) and intelligent forging technology, which results in an incredible increase in steel purity and a very fine, homogeneous microstructure. It contains 0.3% carbon, 15% chromium, 0.5% nitrogen, 0.95% molybdenum, 0.5% nickel and 1.0% manganese. Manufactured by ZAPP.
Blade - Wharncliffe profile finished with elegant satin. The blade has a full flat grind which gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. To facilitate control of the blade, part of the back of the blade is covered with upper jimping, a corrugated thumb rest. A small hole, characteristic for Spyderco knives, is located under the ramp.
Handle - tang of the knife with grips, made of G10 composite, a practically indestructible material, insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage. The front part has a hole for the index finger, this type of grip prevents the hand from slipping onto the blade. The simple, solid construction guarantees many years of use. At the back of the handle, the protruding part of the tang forms a window breaker, it also has a lanyard hole for a safety or decorative cord.
Sheath - protects against falling out and moisture, allows quick removal of the knife. The sheath can be worn around the neck with the included ball chain or attached to the equipment with the G-Clip™. The holster is made of Boltaron® thermoplastic, a new generation thermoformable material with the same applications as Kydex. The holster and pouch made of it are characterized by greater resistance to scratches and chemicals. They are also harder and better than Kydex tolerate extreme temperature fluctuations.
