FOX Knife Tribal K Bronze Titanium, PVD M390 by Doug Marcaida (FX-802 TiPVD)

Tribal K Titanium Bronze, Black PVD modern folding karambit designed by Doug Marcaida, a master of Filipino martial arts. Many years of experience with knives of this type have been poured into this design, full of useful solutions. Black PVD-coated M390 steel blade, grooved finger ring, titanium grips, a tool that will not fail.

Doug Marcaida - a master of Filipino martial arts, a juror on the popular show "Forged in Fire" ("Forged in Fire"). Creator of his own distinctive line of white weapons, knives that, capture the spirit of Filipino martial arts. The distinctive triangles on the Handle grips allude to the main principles of fighting in the FMA.

Karambit - a type of knife that originated in Indonesia, with roots in Malaysia and the Philippines. It is characterized by a finger ring and a sickle-shaped blade, which is characterized by great cutting efficiency. Hawkbill mimics the way an eagle's claw or a tiger's claw rips through, piercing and cutting simultaneously. Used as a working knife and for defense.

M390 Microclean® - a martensitic high-performance chrome steel produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so the blade stays sharp for a very long time (requiring minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. The steel has a high chromium content of 20.0% (Cr) doped with 1.9% carbon (C), vanadium 4.0% (V), hardened between 59-61 HRC, vacuum and cryogenic treatment and double tempering. This super steel is comparable to Carpenter's CPM 20CV or CTS-204P steels. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

PVD - The resistance of the surface of the wedge and cutting edge has been increased by a method involving PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) thin surface coating, in which a layer of coating material is deposited on a substrate by condensation from the vapor phase to the solid phase. The applied coating has a very high hardness, which greatly increases the Blade's resistance to abrasive wear.

Blade - Hawkbill type, covered with a scratch-masking black PVD coating. Plain blade allows for effective cutting with the entire cutting surface as well as the ultra-thin tip. high, flat grind (Flat Grind) gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. To maintain full control of the blade, there is a notched thumb rest on the back of the upper jimping wedge. The protruding "spike" allows the application of painful pressure on vital points or the use of advanced disarming techniques. A secure and proven liner lock is used here.

Handle - non-slip textured grips for better grip. Made of damage-resistant, chemical-resistant, low-temperature titanium. Fore Finger Groove, deep cut for index finger and back ring / tail ring / pommel ring prevent the knife from slipping when the going gets tough.
