- KS Black G10, Top Shield Antracite Stonewashed, a tactical fixed blade knife from Fox Knives, designed in collaboration with GZ Tactical Knives. Niolox steel, an ergonomic G10 Handle and Top Shield® coating create a professional tool for the job.

This product is intended for use only by adults with knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can result in serious injuries. The blade is extremely sharp and can easily cut through skin and tissue; therefore, extra caution should always be exercised while cutting, and hands should be kept away from the cutting edge. To prevent the knife from slipping, it is recommended to cut on a stable, non-slip surface and avoid excessive force, which may cause uncontrolled blade movement.
Leaving the knife on the edge of a table, countertop, or in easily accessible places—especially where children are present—poses a significant safety risk. The knife should always be properly secured after use, ideally by placing it on a stable surface or storing it in designated knife blocks, protective sheaths, or magnetic strips. The knife should never be used for tasks it is not designed for, such as opening cans or prying objects, as this can damage the tool and lead to dangerous accidents.
A dull blade increases the risk of injury, as it requires more force and is more likely to slip from the material being cut. Therefore, it is essential to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. Additionally, proper cleaning and drying of the knife are necessary to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. Periodic inspection of the handle and blade is recommended to check for cracks, chips, or looseness. If any damage is detected, the knife should be repaired or replaced immediately.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand—avoid talking on the phone, watching television, or other distractions while cutting. Ensure proper lighting in the workspace for better visibility and control. Please note that some countries or regions have laws restricting the ownership and carrying of knives. Before purchasing or using this knife, verify that its use is legal in your location according to applicable regulations.
Following these safety guidelines will help ensure safe and effective knife use, minimizing the risk of accidents and extending the lifespan of the tool.
The KS Black G10, Top Shield Antracite Stonewashed is a compact tactical knife with a fixed blade and full tang construction, designed by Fox Knives in cooperation with GZ Tactical Knives - a brand that creates tools based on the experience of special forces operators. Developed for intensive field and operational use, it offers reliability, durability and full functionality in any situation. Blade made of Niolox steel, known for its high wear resistance and excellent sharpness retention, has been coated with Top Shield® Antracite coating for a matte, low-reflective appearance and increased protection against abrasion. The drop point profile and flat grind offer an ideal compromise between precision and cutting power. The G10 composite handle was developed with an emphasis on ergonomics and control, even when wearing gloves and in harsh weather conditions. It comes with a Kydex sheath with MOLLE attachment system for flexible carrying. Fox KS is a professional-grade tool - compact, robust and ready for any situation.
Giacomo Zefilippo, founder of GZ Tactical Knives, combines military experience with blacksmith craftsmanship to create knives with precise geometry and ergonomics. His KS model, inspired by intensive training in the Folgore parachute brigade, reflects the practical needs of the soldier in the field. A collaboration with FOX Knives resulted in the production of this model, which features a hardened Niolox steel blade and a black G10 handle for a secure grip even in harsh conditions. Zefilippo continues to develop its brand, offering knives tailored to the needs of professionals and tactical enthusiasts, combining functionality with aesthetics.
Niolox - tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened in the range of 58-60 HRC. It is characterized by aggressive cutting and good impact strength. The name comes from the element niobium (Nb), one of the best carbides, which contributes to the steel's wear resistance. Niolox contains 0.7% of it . Easy to sharpen with moderate corrosion resistance, it contains 12.7% chromium (Cr). Manufactured by the German steelworks Lohmann.
Blade - was designed for universal tactical and outdoor use. Its drop point profile with a reinforced tip ensures precise blade guidance and effectiveness in cuts requiring force. Made of Niolox steel , it offers high corrosion resistance, cutting edge durability and wear resistance. The flat grind (flat grind) reduces resistance in the material, resulting in better control and smoother cutting. A surface finished with Stonewashed technique and then coated with Top Shield® increases the blade's abrasion resistance and reduces glare - features essential for tactical applications. This is a durable and reliable Blade, suitable for extreme conditions.
Handle - made of durable G10 laminate, resistant to moisture, chemicals and mechanical damage. This material is ideal for knives designed for tactical applications, providing durability and a secure grip. The ergonomic profiling and aggressive surface texture allow stable handling with gloves, in the rain or in heavily soiled conditions. The grips are screwed to a full tang, which increases the rigidity and strength of the design. At the end of the Handle is a rope hole, allowing you to secure the knife or personalize it. It comes with a Kydex sheath, weather- and damage-resistant, allowing it to be mounted vertically, horizontally or on the MOLLE system. This Handle is designed for those who want safety, durability and comfort - without compromise.
