1.4034 - belongs to the group of stainless martensitic steels. The symbols used for the same steel, but in other standards, are 4H13 steel (PN standard), 420 steel (AISI) and X46Cr13 steel (according to DIN standard). The main property of steel 1.4034 is resistance to atmospheric corrosion, natural waters that do not contain salts, dilute and cold salt solutions, liquid fuels, alcohols, parts of cold organic and inorganic acids, as well as corrosion of some food products, but only those that do not have salt and other preservatives in their composition. This steel also has very good abrasion resistance and very good parameters for determining hardness.
Regular maintenance of 1.4034 stainless steel prevents the formation of deposits and maintains its luster. It also facilitates the removal of spots and tarnishes. Cleaning should be done before the appearance of a visible layer of dirt or fingerprints, so the danger of permanent discoloration of the steel surface will be minimized. For cleaning, do not use agents that contain: chlorine, salt, acids and bleach.
Blade - serrated blade of Serrated type is derived with Full Flat grind. The saw blade consists of alternating one large and three small teeth, the so-called three-step. This pattern increases the length of the cutting edge by up to 24% compared to a straight blade. It is opened by means of a milled notch in the wedge (Nail Nick)
Blades - additional features:
- main blade, length 75 mm, locking mechanism
- other: cap opener, marspikiel
Handle - in an easy-to-find bright yellow color. Covered with non-slip textured facings with rubber-like properties, made of thermoplastic elastomer, also known as TPE thermoplastic rubber (guarantees a firm grip in an aquatic environment), combined with PP polymer. The ergonomic shape of the facings prevents the hand from slipping while working. In the rear part of the blade lock lever.

Przeczytaj!
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.
