X60CrMoV15 (MoVa 60) - a high-carbon molybdenum-vanadium martensitic stainless steel with a higher carbon content than steel 1.4116 (X50CrMoV15). Highly resistant to corrosion and wear. Used in the manufacture of knives, high-end cutlery and surgical instruments. It is characterized by a fairly high, for stainless steels, hardness of 57-58 HRC. The chemical composition of the steel is enriched by doping 15.0% chromium (Cr), 0.80% molybdenum (Mo), 0.20% vanadium (V).
PTFE Black - widely used in the coating industry, polytetrafluoroethylene is an ultra-fine, low molecular weight product processed through a special process. It is characterized by excellent chemical and weathering and temperature resistance, thermal stability, non-stickiness, electrical insulation, fire resistance and self-lubrication. Thanks to the use of polytetrafluoroethylene as a blade coating material, friction during use is reduced, thus reducing the need for force during all kinds of work. PTFE-coated blades provided 22% lower average force and 26% lower maximum force compared to chrome-coated blades.
Blade - Drop Point type, 3.6 mm thickness. Smooth blade (Plain) was made with a concave cut (Hollow grind), provides good cutting properties. Black, scratch-resistant, matt, non-reflective PTFE coating. Thumb Stud and Flipper allows quick opening knife. Blade blockade: Liner-Lock type.
Handle - in desert color, ergonomic, profiled under the fingers. Covered with textured facings made of PTB polymer reinforced glass fiber, it provides a secure grip even with wet hands. Notching on the back of the Spine Jimping handle increases comfort and grip. The knife is equipped with a solid torx screwed metal clip that allows you to move the knife in the tip-down position. In the back of the handle was placed a gap for mounting a security cable.

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.
