FOX Edge Mandatory Fun Black G10, Stonewashed (FE-024)

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.

Mandatory Fun Black G10, compact folder E.D.C., design by Russ Komer. The design of the American knifemaker and hunter combines a quality-price ratio and functionality that is hard to beat.

Blade - 3 mm thick with Clip Point profile, provides excellent cutting-edge geometry with low drag. The blade is made of sharp holding 8Cr13MoV stainless steel (equivalent to Japanese AUS-8 steel). Plain type blade is Hollow Grind for excellent cutting ability and weight saving. Glare eliminating Black Stonewash coating. Thumb Stud on both sides of the blade allows you to open the knife even when your hands are slippery or cold. Additionally, the knife can be opened with a flipper. Both methods are suitable for both right- and left-handed operation. Corrugated supports: thumb ramp (spine jimping) and finger choil jimping, index finger undercut on lock.

8Cr13MoV - easy to sharpen stainless knife steel, equivalent to Japanese AUS-8 steel. High content of 13.0% chromium and average 0.8% carbon provide excellent corrosion resistance. The presence of 1.0% silicon, 0.3% molybdenum increase the steel strength and wear resistance. 8Cr13MoV is characterized by high hardness in the range of 57-62 HRC.

Skeleton - made of stainless steel provides exceptional strength of construction, while forming the basis of the Frame-Lock mechanism of the head with jimped liner. The whole is bolted together with torx screws for easy unfolding and folding of the folder.

Handle - left side, profiled, covered with non-slip textured lining made of black G-10 (durable, resistant to high and low temperatures, chemicals). Right side made of stainless steel. The facings are attached to a solid spacer (so called backspacer / handle facings connector) made of G10 plastic, which provides strength of construction. Robust, double-sided cut-out in the handle guarantees intuitive right/left hand access to the pins as well as to the head lock release. Metal clip (right side) allows you to carry the knife in tip-up position. A lanyard hole in the back of the handle allows for a lanyard or safety line to be pulled through.
