Niolox - a tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened in the range of 58-63 HRC. It is characterized by aggressive cutting and good impact strength. The name comes from the element niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the wear resistance of the steel. Niolox contains 0.7% of it. Easy to sharpen with moderate corrosion resistance, it contains 8.5% chromium. Manufactured by German Lohmann steelworks.
Blade - massive with Drop Point profile and thickness of 5 mm with clearly marked belly of the cutting edge. Satin smooth Plain blade with Full Flat Grind provides strength and tapering of the blade towards the tip reduces weight while improving the geometry of the cutting edge. On the back of the wedge upper jimping, notched thumb rest.
Handle - covered with convex grip covers made of exotic Santos wood. Profiled and 3D machined for better ergonomics, provide a secure grip. Enlarged protrusion acts as a hilt protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. Mounted with Torx T8 stainless steel screws, the liners can be removed to make an improvised spear knife.
Scabbard - extended, protecting the blade together with part of the handle. Made of natural leather in brown color with embossed producer logo. The holster is fastened with a Prym type clasp. The holster is sewn on the edges with decorative thread. Mounting to the belt or to the equipment allows you to carry the knife in an upright position.

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.
