From urban landscapes to wide-open spaces
The acronym URBEX sums up the collection's ambitions. The knife is designed to be a vital companion for all those in tune ith the environment, who enjoy outdoor activities and connecting with wide-open spaces while pursuing a ontemporary way of life.
Our lifestyle today often has to keep pace with an intense work life. The demands of work are increasingly being met with a need to get away and recharge our batteries in wide-open spaces. URBEX was created for generations who navigate the urban jungle during the week and devote their weekends and holidays to exploring new horizons, free from the pressure of their weekday working lives.
Every detail of URBEX has been tailored to modern adventurers: a 1.4110 stainless steel blade that can be opened one-handed, with sharp teeth for greater slicing power, a orkscrew for downtime, a safety lock system, a punch/reamer awl with a sewing eye and a bottle opener with a screwdriver.
The knife also features a can opener with a built-in screwdriver and tweezers for more precise operations. All of this is elevated by a PVD coating, which gives these tools a matte black finish that is both elegant and hard-wearing.
URBEX is not merely a multi-purpose tool; it is a proud statement of your way of life: always prepared for everyday challenges while keeping an eye on the horizon, ready to embark on the next adventure.
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.

BIOROC, a high-performance composite, blends carbon fibres and bio-sourced materials to offer unmatched resistance to shocks and scratches.
