How to use

Open the blade fully with the designated opening mechanism and ensure the locking mechanism is engaged before use. Use the knife for controlled, deliberate cuts and avoid twisting the blade under load. After use, clean the blade and handle as needed, dry thoroughly and fold the blade closed until it locks into the stored position for safe carry. Periodically inspect the pivot and locking mechanism and apply a light lubricant if movement feels stiff.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the blade sharp and avoid using the knife on hard materials that can chip the edge. Store folded when not in use and maintain the Micarta handle by wiping clean with a damp cloth; avoid prolonged soaking to preserve the handle texture. Use the knife within its intended utility scope to ensure safety and longevity.
