Sharpness Matters - Handle with Care

We proudly offer high-quality knives and bladed tools. However, with great sharpness comes great responsibility. Here are some essential safety tips to remember:

• Double Up: Always use two hands when unsheathing a knife or bladed tool. Single-handed attempts can lead to accidents.
• Stuck? Stop! If your knife or tool seems stuck in its sheath, don't force it. Contact our customer service team for assistance.
• Keep it Secure: Never leave a knife or bladed tool unattended when open or unsheathed.
• Out of Reach, Out of Danger: Keep knives and bladed tools away from children to prevent accidents.
• The Right Tool for the Job: These tools are designed for cutting. Avoid using them for prying, hammering, or other unintended purposes.
