Max Knives TIKNU9 — Natural titanium pocket piece, 63 × 40 mm

Overview

The TIKNU9 closes the series with a drawing of its own. The piece measures 63 × 40 mm and reaches 17 mm at its thickest point, which makes it the most substantial of the family in thickness. This version stays in natural titanium: no anodising, no tone, the bare metal with its faintly blue-tinged grey. A hole meant to take a lanyard runs through the body, and two notches are cut into the flanks.

Two side notches that work as clips

The two cuts machined into the sides of the TIKNU9 are not decorative: they act as clips. The edge of a pocket, the rim of a bag or the waistband of a pair of trousers slots into them, and the thickness of the titanium is enough to hold the piece in place rather than letting it slide down into the fabric. It is a built-in solution, with no screw and no added spring steel: nothing to dismantle, nothing that can work loose in a pocket. The lanyard hole gives the second carry option, with a cord around the wrist or tied to a bag loop.

Technical specifications

The piece is titanium in its natural state, with no anodising and no colouring. It measures 63 millimetres by 40 and its thickness reaches a maximum of 17 millimetres, the largest such figure quoted across the series. The body is crossed by a hole meant to take a lanyard. Two notches are machined into the sides and fill the role of carry clips.

Care

Bare titanium is the easiest of all surface states to live with: it does not rust, does not blacken and barely patinates. A dry cloth is enough after a day in the pocket, a little warm soapy water if the piece is genuinely dirty, then drying. Remember to run a cloth through both notches, where pocket dust gathers, and replace the lanyard once the cord starts showing worn fibres.
