Key parameters
Key benefits

- 🔴 Possible drawbacks
- Not legal everywhere: Automatic knives are not permitted in some countries or regions – please check your local laws before purchasing.
- Larger size: With an overall length of over 26 cm and a sharper profile, this knife is less suitable for discreet EDC carry.
- Single-sided clip: The clip is not reversible – the knife is intended primarily for right-handed users.
- 🛠️ Maintenance and sharpening
- Thanks to the use of 154CM steel, the knife is durable, but to preserve its sharpness we recommend regular care. For blade maintenance and easy edge restoration, the following is an excellent choice:
- 🔧 Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker (204MF) – a very popular sharpener that allows easy and precise sharpening even for users without experience, available on our Moskito.cz website. It is ideal for maintaining a satin grind on harder steels such as 154CM.
- To preserve functionality:
- Lubricate the button and pivot with a suitable oil (e.g. KPL)
- Keep dry and clean away from dirt
- Do not force the automatic mechanism open against resistance
