How to use

Open the blade following the knife's designed deployment method and ensure the locking mechanism is fully engaged before applying cutting force.

Follow any manufacturer instructions for maintenance of the blade finish and locking mechanism.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the blade clean and dry, and periodically check the pivot and lock for proper function. Sharpen the edge with appropriate stones or sharpening systems designed for stainless steels; avoid cutting excessively hard materials that could chip the edge. When carrying, secure the folded knife in a pocket or pouch to prevent unintended opening and to protect surrounding items.
