FMS 5 1/16 Kitchen Knife

This knife is unusually delicate for TOPS and is primarily used for food preparation in the camp or kitchen. The 1095 carbon steel blade with Black River wash finish is only 1.5 mm thick, giving the "Slicer" name completely new meaning. Inspired by Asian blade shapes, which designer Steven Dick observed in use in South-East Asia at markets and butchers, slices through meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables with a minimum of effort. Yet it is strong enough to carve wood or cut through a rope when hiking or camping. The sand-colored mircata scales are kept thin and are ergonomically shaped. A true crossover as "tactical kitchen knife". Includes kydex sheath with metal clip.

Warning and safety information:
Cut injuries: The most common danger when using knives is the risk of cuts. Sharp blades can quickly penetrate skin and tissue.
Slipping of the knife: Improper or excessive pressure can cause the knife to slip, resulting in uncontrolled movements that can cause injuries.
Injuries due to falls: Knives should never be left unsecured or near table edges to prevent them from falling and injuring someone.
Blunt knives: Blunt knives pose a greater risk of injury as they require more force and can slip more easily. Knives should therefore be properly sharpened regularly.
Improper use: Using a knife for tasks for which it is not intended (e.g. as a lever tool) can not only damage the blade, but also lead to accidents.
