Martinez Albainox Knife RainBlack Steel, RainBlack 3Cr13Mov (25098)
- Rainblack Steel, Rainblack is a compact folding knife with a solid construction, short Blade and black coated steel Handle. Designed as an everyday use tool (EDC), it combines durability, original design and functionality.
Rainblack Steel, Rainblack is a distinctive folder whose form suggests utilitarian sturdiness and distinctive styling inspired by industrial design from the start. Unlike classic EDC knives with slender lines, this design focuses on compactness, a short blade profile and a solid Handle, which makes the knife give the impression of a tool for intensive use despite its small size. The compact size and steel construction make it a practical choice for your pocket, bag or as an everyday addition to your gear. Blade made of 3Cr13MoV steel offers a good compromise between corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening - a popular material in everyday knives that performs well in dynamic conditions. The black coating serves not only a decorative function, but also a protective one - it reduces the effects of moisture and increases resistance to minor scratches. The short, wide blade with a strong tip ensures precision in detail tasks and stability when cutting with greater pressure. The Handle, also made of steel and coated in black, is designed for a secure grip and to withstand daily wear and tear. Prominent milling marks improve grip, and the compact geometry fits well in the hand. The overall design creates a model for those looking for a small but durable EDC knife, which stands out aesthetically and does not disappoint in terms of utility function.
3Cr13MoV is a martensitic chromium steel that has been enriched with molybdenum (Mo) and vanadium (V) to improve its performance properties. The typical chemical composition includes about 0.26-0.35% carbon (C), 12.5-14.5% chromium (Cr), 0.4-0.6% molybdenum (Mo) and 0.1-0.2% vanadium (V). The addition of chromium provides corrosion resistance, while molybdenum increases hardenability, high-temperature strength and resistance to pitting corrosion. Vanadium contributes to the hardness, wear resistance and fine grain structure of the steel. 3Cr13MoV is used for knives (often found in folding knives and hunting knives), medical tools and other applications where a good combination of corrosion resistance, hardness and strength is required. It is an improved version of 3Cr13 steel, offering better sharpness retention and overall durability.
Blade - made of 3Cr13MoV stainless steel, known for its good corrosion resistance, ease of sharpening and balance between hardness and flexibility. Its wide, short profile with a clearly defined cut line and strong tip provides stability during cutting and high control, especially in tasks that require precise blade guidance at short distances. Blade's black coating finish serves a protective function, increasing surface resistance to moisture and reducing the visibility of fine scratches. The overall geometry has been optimized for utility cuts - with a balance between aggressiveness and control of the working edge.
Handle - is made of stainless steel, which translates into high rigidity and mechanical resistance, typical for tool-like folders. Its solid, compact form was designed for a comfortable, secure grip - even under heavy use. Additional milling on the grips increases grip, improving ergonomics and knife control. A rainblack finish on the Handle's surface gives the overall design a consistent, modern look, while enhancing corrosion and scratch resistance. Thanks to its compact dimensions and well-proportioned proportions, the knife fits well in the hand and does not interfere with carrying. The solid lock, quick access and striking design make this model an interesting choice for everyday carry for users looking for something more than a classic EDC folder.

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.
