It features a lockable blade and compact folding design for secure carry and controlled cutting. The knife is intended for cutting ropes, webbing and other materials commonly encountered during technical rescue, maintenance and outdoor tasks.

Advantages

The knife combines a slim, foldable profile with a reliable blade-lock mechanism that ensures safe operation under load.

The handle surface and ergonomics provide a secure grip during precise cuts, and the blade geometry is optimized for cutting fibrous materials such as rope and webbing.

How to use

To use the knife, unfold the blade until the lock engages and verify that the blade is securely locked before applying cutting force. Use the knife with a controlled motion and maintain a firm grip on the handle. After use, clean any debris or moisture from the blade and handle, fold the blade back into the closed position and ensure the lock is fully released. Inspect the blade edge and mechanism regularly and replace or service the blade if it becomes dull or damaged.

Usage recommendations

Use the Spatha knife for controlled cutting of ropes, webbing and soft materials; avoid prying or cutting hardened metal objects. Store the folded knife in a dry place and follow your organization’s equipment inspection intervals for tools used in rescue or industrial settings.
