KNIVESPL - The First Sandvik 14C28N folding knife, blue G10, Stonewashed/Satin
KNIVESPL The First - a limited edition folder created by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts
KNIVESPL The First is a project that was born out of the genuine passion of the KNIVESPL community and the artistry of two esteemed designers: Ostap Hel and Rafal "Brrr" Brzeski. This is no ordinary knife - it's a symbol of community, commitment and love of craftsmanship. Each piece is individually numbered, thus combining the collector's character and full functionality of the EDC knife. The First is a unique folder designed for people who value precision, reliability and timeless style.
Sandvik 14C28N steel - reliability that makes a difference
At the heart of the knife is an 89 mm long head made of modern Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, developed by Swedish metallurgy leader Alleima. This steel originated as a development of the famous 13C26 and quickly gained recognition from users for its excellent balance of hardness, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening.
Its unique chemical composition - m.in. 0.62% carbon, 14% chromium and 0.11% nitrogen - provides cutting edge stability, fine-grained structure and resistance to chipping. In practice, this means that the knife maintains its working sharpness for a long time, while it can be sharpened quickly even in field conditions. The hardness of 55-62 HRC makes it durable, resistant to stress and ready for everyday challenges.
Satin/stonewashed finish combines elegant gloss with practical rawness. It masks fine scratches and emphasizes the character of the blade, which not only looks great, but above all works perfectly. Drop point profile and high flat grind for precision, smooth cutting and versatility - from everyday use to more demanding tasks.
Additional jimping on the back of the blade increases control of the knife, allowing you to operate the blade with confidence for more precise cuts.
G10 handle - secure grip and ergonomics in all conditions
Handle made of durable G10 composite guarantees lightweight, stable grip and resistance to damage. The textured surface makes the knife feel secure in the hand, even when conditions are wet or challenging. Ergonomic shape of facings provides comfort during prolonged work.
Reliable Crossbar Lock - security and intuitive operation
KNIVESPL The First uses Crossbar Lock, a mechanism that guarantees a high level of security and smooth operation. Thanks to its symmetrical design, operation of the knife is comfortable for both right- and left-handed people. Opening of the blade is fast and smooth thanks to the ball-bearing mechanism and the thumb stud on both sides.
Discreet portability and refined details
Double-sided Deep Carry clip allows you to carry the knife comfortably and discreetly in your pocket. Precision milling, attention to proportions, high quality screws and aesthetic finish make every part of the knife designed for maximum user comfort.
The set includes additional accessories: spare screws, omegas for the lock and collectible patches with logos of KNIVESPL, Ostap Hel and Rafal "Brrr" Brzeski. These are small elements that highlight the unique, limited nature of the project.
Folder with a soul - part of the history of Polish knifemaking
KNIVESPL The First is not just a tool - it is a manifesto of passion, quality and community. It was created through a collaboration of enthusiasts and experts who put their hearts and experience into it. It's a knife that inspires, stirs emotions and brings people together. It also proves that in the world of mass production, authentic objects, full of character and unique identity are still being created.

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.
