SHOGUN KNIFE

WARNING: After use, particularly in sea water,
the knife must be disassembled completely
and each part must be rinsed in fresh water. If
possible, clean with neutral detergent. Then it
must be dried completely and a very thin layer
of silicon lubricant must be applied to the steel
parts.

WARNING: Always wear cut proof gloves when disassem­bling the knife.
WARNING: Never leave the knife in contact with wet equip­ment or in humid and/or marine environments.
WARNING: If traces of rust should appear on the surface
of the blade, we recommend polishing the blade with a fi ne
grain paste for metal before the corrosion causes irrepa­rable damage.

The OMERSUB knife that you have purchased is a high perfor­mance, top quality cutting instrument.

To make this knife, OMERSUB used a corrosion and heat marten­sitic stainless steel, hardnable by heat treatment. To obtain the
best results from this steel, we used an high quality heat treatment
to improve hardness and resistance to wear, impact and especially
corrosion.

WARNING: Never use a high speed grinding wheel; it could
heat up ad damage the knife temper permanently.
WARNING: Never use your knife as a tool: screwdriver,
chisel, lever, hole punch, etc. The knife was not designed for
such uses. Use for any purpose other than cutting is consi­dered abuse and will not be covered by the guarantee.

USE OF THE KNIFE AS AN EMERGENCY SHAFT RELEASE

Use of the knife as an emergency shaft release (Pict. 1). for the
elastic spear gun. Your Sporasub knife is built with a small slot
inside the blade which enables it to be used as a shaft release
in emergency situations. If a shaft is blocked, fi t the slot on the
knife onto the tang of the shaft (for an elastic spear gun) up to the
point on the tang where the groove narrows. Then slide the knife
in the groove up to the most narrow part of the slot. At this point,
turn the knife slightly to release the shaft. Do not use the knife
to extract the blocked shaft. Once the shaft has been released,
remove the knife and extract the shaft manually. Do not use the
knife as a lever on the blocked shaft.

The knife must always be kept sharpened. A sharp knife is safer;
a knife with a ruined or dull blade edge requires the use of more
force to cut and is therefore potentially more dangerous than if it
were sharp. Always use a high quality manual sharpening stone to
sharpen the blade.
