M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to its alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so that the blade remains sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC. Another of its advantages is its resistance to "wire" formation during sharpening. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - massive Drop Point shape and 4 mm thick with a clearly marked belly of the cutting edge. The satin-smooth Plain blade brought out with a Full Flat Grind provides strength and the tapering of the blade towards the hilt reduces weight improving the geometry of the cutting edge.
Handle - made of durable exotic wood, Santos Wood. The enlarged protrusion acts as a hilt protecting the hand from slipping on the blade. Attached with Torx T8 stainless steel screws, the liners can be removed to make the knife into an improvised spear. Slightly protruding beyond the handle, the tango fragments can be used to light a fire with a flint. In the back of the lanyard hole facings, a hole for a rope.
Sheath - extended, protects the blade along with part of the handle. Fastened with a Prym-type snap secures the knife well against falling out. Hand-sewn, made of fleshy natural leather in brown color with embossed manufacturer's name. The edges of the holster for reinforcement were stitched with double decorative stitching. Mounting has been adapted to carry the holster on a belt or on a mount in multiple positions by means of two leather straps. Compatible with the MOLLE standard, it allows the load-carrier to be attached under the straps of the M.O.L.L.E. (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) system.

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.
