Macro 1 Natural Canvas Micarta, Stone Washed, design by Jesper Voxnæs. Forged from a single piece of excellent M390 tool steel, a lightweight (only 66g!) knife that can serve as both an urban EDC and a handy off-road knife by Italian brand MKM. Comfortable Micarta Handle and razor-sharp, short strong blade with rounded cutting edge.
M390 - martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the 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 the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), and is hardened between 59-61 HRC. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
Blade - Drop Point type with clearly marked belly has been finished masking minor scratches, with Stone Washed coating. The solid thickness of the blade, combined with a high, flat grind, gives us an extremely effective cutting tool with great durability. Spine jimping, a notched support on the Blade's back, and finger choil, an undercut for the index finger, provide precise control of cutting direction.
Handle - is the result of ergonomics research, despite its size, provides a secure grip. Made of Canvas Micarta laminate, a virtually indestructible plastic insensitive to weather, resistant to chemicals and mechanical damage, attached directly to the blank, provides a virtually indestructible design. The rounded shape of the covers eliminates sharp edges. The protruding section of the tang contains an enlarged lanyard hole, which is a hole for attaching a belaying line, and can also be used as an improvised hammer.
Sheath - when designing, great emphasis was placed on the ease of carrying and retrieving the knife. Flat, lightweight holster made of natural, high-quality leather. Innovative fastening using magnets gives many options for attaching the Sheath to the belt, edge of the pocket or the shoulder stock.
T6/T8 torx keys are included with the knife.

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.
