- KS Short Stonewashed Skeletonized - compact EDC knife with Niolox blade with stonewashed finish and full tang skeletonized construction. The minimalist form ensures lightweight, durable and fully functional for everyday use.

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.
KS Short Stonewashed Skeletonized is a unique design by Fox Knives, developed in collaboration with GZ Tactical Knives, combining utility precision with minimalist design. Designed for everyday EDC use, it is a practical and discreet tool with high durability. Blade is made of Niolox steel , characterized by high hardness in the range of 59-61 HRC, abrasion resistance and very good stability of the cutting edge. The stonewashed finish used gives the blade a technical, matte look, effectively masking micro-scratches and reducing light reflections. The drop point profile provides full control over the blade's guidance, enabling precise and safe cuts in everyday tasks. The knife's design is based on a simple skeletonized full tang form , completely devoid of classic grips, which significantly reduces the tool's weight and simplifies field maintenance. The design features clever relief holes, increasing lightness and allowing the Handle to be possibly wrapped with paracord cord for additional comfort. The compact size and the included Kydex sheath allow the knife to be carried safely and quickly in a variety of field configurations, at the belt or on equipment. The FX-626 is an excellent option for users looking for a reliable, compact tool with full functionality and maximum mobility for everyday use.
Niolox - tool steel with good edge holding and high strength. Hardened in the range 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 - is made of Niolox steel, valued for its high abrasion resistance, excellent sharpness retention and cutting edge stability even under heavy use. Hardness of 59-61 HRC ensures durability and long life of the cutting edge while maintaining the ability to regenerate the blade in field conditions. The drop point profile allows the blade to be precise and controlled while maintaining a sturdy tip, useful for tasks that require penetration or stronger pressure. Blade surface is finished with a stonewashed finish, which effectively masks utility scratches and minimizes light reflections, enhancing utility and aesthetic value in everyday use. The blade design, combined with full tang geometry, ensures high stability when working in varied terrain conditions.
Handle - fully integrated in the form of skeletonized full tang, made of a single piece of Niolox steel . Such a design provides maximum rigidity and resistance to mechanical damage, eliminating weak points in the attachment points of classic grips. Carefully placed relief holes optimize the weight of the tool while maintaining its full functionality. Smoothly contoured edges of the Handle protect the hand from abrasion, and ergonomic undercuts support the natural positioning of the fingers, allowing a secure grip even without additional texture. The design also allows the use of braided paracord, increasing grip comfort depending on the user's preference. A safety line hole is provided in the back of the handle, allowing for the installation of a lanyard or additional safety device when working in rough terrain. The minimalist form of the Handle translates into high functionality and ease of maintenance, making the FX-626 an effective EDC tool with professional utility.
