It is an indispensable companion for summer sailing, morning fishing or camping at the lake.
Created with water and nature in mind
Model Intersect series Water has been specially developed for those who often work or rest in direct contact with water. Its partially serrated blade works great for cutting through ropes, straps and other textile materials found aboard a yacht or in an RV.
CPM MagnaCut super steel blade - strength you can trust
The 68 mm long head is made of the latest generation of powder steel CPM MagnaCut, which offers a unique combination:
Corrosion resistance - Ideal for contact with fresh and salt water,
Hardness level at 60-62 HRC,
Excellent focus hold,
Ease of sharpening - even after heavy use.
Finishing Stonewash effectively masks minor scratches, making the knife look like new for a long time, even after regular use in rough terrain.
Maximum control - even in a wet hand
Ergonomic handle made of Santoprene® - flexible, rubber-like material - provides firm grip even under conditions of increased humidity. This is why Intersect will perform where other knives might fail - in the rain, while fishing or working on a boat.
Additional Upper Jimping (transverse notching on the back of the blade) guarantees even better control of the blade for precision tasks, such as cleaning a fish or cutting a live line.
Safe handling and security
The knife comes with a lightweight, injection molded shell, which protects the blade and allows it to be conveniently strapped to a belt, backpack or vest. Attachment clip makes you always have it at hand - ready for action.
At the end of the handle is a hole for threading a cable/paracord, which protects the knife from accidental loss, such as when working near water or with gloves on.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
