General Safety Warnings and Instructions for Knives

1. Warning – sharp blade and point: The blade and point can cause serious injury. Handle the knife with care at all times. Keep your free hand clear of the cutting area and do not cut towards your body.

2. Use only as intended: Use the knife only for suitable cutting tasks. Do not use it for prying, as a screwdriver or for other tasks for which it is not designed. Improper use may damage the knife and increase the risk of injury.

3. Keep away from children: Store knives securely, out of the reach of children and unauthorised persons. Do not leave a knife unattended.

4. Safe storage and transport: Protect the blade when the knife is not in use, for example with a suitable guard, sheath or storage system. Close folding knives completely. Secure knives against unintended access during transport and observe the applicable laws.

5. Inspect and maintain the knife: Do not use a knife with a damaged blade, loose handle or defective locking mechanism. Keep it clean and dry. Maintain and sharpen it as needed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Take care when cleaning: Clean the knife carefully. Do not run your bare hand along the cutting edge or over the point. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and dry the knife thoroughly after cleaning.

7. Observe applicable laws: Check the local rules governing the purchase, possession, carrying and transport of your knife. Requirements may vary depending on the knife’s design and where it is used.

Warning: Improper use or handling of knives can cause serious injury. Use the knife responsibly and only for its intended purpose.
