Istruzioni per l'uso

Opening the Blade

Securing the Blade

The knife is equipped with a reliable back lock mechanism. Once the blade is fully open, the back lock automatically engages, securing the blade in place to prevent accidental closure during use. Always ensure the lock is fully engaged before applying pressure to the blade.

Closing the Blade

To close the blade, locate the back lock lever on the spine of the handle. Press down on the lever to disengage the lock, then carefully fold the blade back into the handle using your other hand. Ensure your fingers are clear of the blade's path to avoid injury.

Using the Pocket Clip

The integrated pocket clip allows for convenient and secure carrying. Attach the knife to a pocket, belt, or gear for quick access. The clip is designed to keep the knife readily available while preventing accidental loss.

Utilizing the Lanyard Hole

A lanyard hole is provided at the end of the handle. This feature allows you to attach a lanyard or cord, which can be used to tether the knife safely, preventing loss or injury from a dropped tool, especially when working at heights.

Cura e manutenzione

Pulizia

To maintain the longevity and performance of your knife, it is recommended to clean it regularly. The manufacturer specifies Lavare solo a mano. After each use, especially if exposed to dirt, moisture, or corrosive materials, wipe the blade and handle clean with a damp cloth. For thorough cleaning, use mild soap and water, then dry immediately and completely to prevent rust, particularly in the pivot area.

Affilatura della lama

Over time, the blade's edge may become dull with regular use. To restore its sharpness, use a suitable knife sharpener according to the sharpener's instructions. Maintain the original blade angle for optimal performance. A sharp blade is safer than a dull one as it requires less force to cut.

Problemi comuni e soluzioni

• Blade feels stiff when opening/closing: This can be due to accumulated dirt or debris in the pivot mechanism. Clean the pivot area thoroughly as described in the Maintenance section. A small drop of light machine oil (e.g., mineral oil) can be applied to the pivot point to improve smoothness.
• La lama è smussata: The blade requires sharpening. Refer to the Blade Sharpening section for guidance.
• Back lock does not engage securely: Ensure no debris is obstructing the lock mechanism. Clean the area around the back lock. If the issue persists after cleaning, discontinue use and contact customer support.
• Rust spots on blade: Although the blade is stainless steel, it is not entirely rust-proof. Ensure the knife is always dried thoroughly after exposure to moisture. Minor rust spots can often be removed with fine abrasive pads or rust removers designed for metal.
