Compared with carbon steel, the stainless version does not require the same level of continuous special maintenance under ordinary conditions.

Stainless steel is not absolutely immune to corrosion. Prolonged contact with salt water, acids, aggressive cleaning products or other harsh environments should be avoided.

Virobloc® consists of a fixed section and a rotating stainless-steel safety ring.

By rotating the ring, the user can secure the blade in the open position during use or lock it in the folded position for transport and storage.

The mechanism is simple and lightweight and does not require a complex internal locking system inside the handle.
