- Fox Cutlery is one of the companies coming from the famous "knife basin" Maniago in Italy. In cooperation with the best knifemakers they create excellent knives with the best materials.
Italico is a small knife for everyday carry, made of very good materials. The sheepsfoot blade is made of Bohler M390 stainless steel, one of the best steels currently used in knife production. Opens with a flipper, so it can be used by left and right-handed people without any problems. Small thickness of blade in combination with high, flat grind gives us cutting properties almost on the level of a razor. The blade was finished with satin method. The entire blade is locked with a proven and popular liner lock.
The handle consists of two light brown micarta liners screwed to steel liners. Liners have been bolted together using spacer sleeves to reduce weight and maintain an open design. Single position wireclip allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. Comes with a pouch to store the knife.
In 1977, Oreste Frati founded FOX Cutlery after many years of experience in manufacturing and trade. A professional tradition combined with a constant drive for technological innovation has built FOX Cutlery's reputation as one of the leading companies in the domestic and international market.
