(Reeve Integral Lock) lock ensures safety and security during use. Handle, made of durable titanium, has been carefully developed for ergonomics. The compact size makes it easy to carry on a daily basis, and the deep carry clip guarantees a convenient attachment. Techno 3 is the perfect tool for men who appreciate sophisticated design, reliability and uncompromising quality.
CTS® XHP - an air-hardening, high-carbon and high-chromium corrosion-resistant American knife steel with a hardness of 60-64 HRC. CTS® XHP alloy is a powder metallurgy by Carpenter Technology Corporation. The alloy contains 1.6% carbon (C), 16% chromium (Cr) and 0.8% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.45% vanadium (V). Thanks to its properties, it is relatively easy to sharpen, maintains sharpness for a very long time and provides high corrosion resistance.
Reeve Integral Lock - (R.I.L.) reinforced, monolithic blockade of the blade (Frame-Lock type). One of the claddings acts as a blocking mechanism.
Blade - solid, Sheepfoot profile with a slightly marked curve of the cutting edge. Plain blade, derived with a flat grind (Flat Grind) for excellent geometry and strength. Round SpyderHole cutout (Spyderco patent) for opening the Blade also with sweaty hands. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade with a discreet index-finger flipper when opened acting as a stag. The entire blade is locked with the proven and popular Reeve Integral-Lock with a steel inlay to prevent wiping of the lock face.
Handle - solid titanium 6AL4V, sandblasted for better grip. Chamfered edges of the covers eliminate sharp edges for comfort and improve grip security. Connected to each other by a solid titanium backspacer for rigidity of the whole structure. The simplicity and sturdiness of the construction provide assurance of many years of use. Single-position clip (right), made of titanium, allows you to carry the knife in tip-up 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.
