URBEX LAVA

The LAVA model conveys the raw power and spectacular phenomena displayed by forces of nature. Designed for extreme sports enthusiasts and lovers of state-of-the-art technology, it combines an elegant aesthetic with unparalleled sturdiness.

Designed and made in BIWI's workshops in Glovelier, URBEX draws on the unmatched expertise of a Swiss Jura-based company, a leader in micro-precision manufacturing and innovative materials. BIWI, recognised for its know-how in demanding industries such as MedTech, jewellery and watchmaking, and leather craft, applies its exacting standards for quality and excellence to each URBEX knife. This partnership, operating in a short supply chain, demonstrates SWIZA's commitment to highlighting the exceptional skill at work in the regional ecosystem of the Jura Arc.

BIOROC, a high-performance composite, blends carbon fibres and bio-sourced materials to offer unmatched resistance to shocks and scratches.  VULCARBONE, a high-tech rubber exclusively developed by BIWI, ensures a comfortable, soft-touch grip, while guaranteeing exceptional durability; These materials, world firsts established by the Swiss luxury watchmaking industry and now used in Swiss knife-making, elevate URBEX to much more than just a knife – it is a piece of revolutionary technology.

Cleaning

Used in different environments or in contact with various substances and foods, your knife and its tools can become sticky and dirty. Without regular maintenance, their functionality may be reduced, and the steel may be altered by prolonged contact with certain substances. For effective cleaning, open and close the tools several times under lukewarm water until the movements become fluid. If necessary, use dishwashing liquid and a clean, damp cloth to rub each tool, take care not to injure yourself, then rinse thoroughly with clear, lukewarm water. We highly recommend you to NOT put your Swiss knife on a dishwasher.

Drying

It is recommended to use a soft, dry and clean microfiber cloth to wipe the outside and inside of the handle such as each opened tool by taking care not to injure yourself. It is preferable to keep the knife open to the air so that the hard-to-reach areas can continue to dry.

Oiling of moving parts

If after having been cleaned with water the tools cannot be opened easily as well as after each cleaning of the SWIZA Swiss knife in a dishwasher, a drop of special precision mechanics oil must be applied between the moving parts, as shown in the illustration.
Warning: the oil must be neutral in odor and taste, food-grade and have a high resistance to aging.
