Carrying the accolades of Blade Show Imported and Overall Knife of the Year the Fox Knives Radius, designed by Denis Simonutti is an innovative new everyday carry folder that is robust enough for significant use while delivering a modern style and unique, fidget friendly design that will get this knife in your hand and keep it there. This version comes with Copper Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber handles and a black PVD coated blade.

Brand new from Fox Knives, Italy.

Blade: With a modified Wharncliffe style blade of Bohler M390 stainless steel, the Radius offers good everyday cutting utility with plenty of point for piercing and fine work. Black PVD coating on the blade delivers a stylish, non-reflective and corrosion resistant finish. Riding smoothly on a ball bearing pivot the blade can be opened fast or slow by pressing the stud down and then rotating it though the cut out on the handle. To close simply reverse the process. Once you get the hang of it operating the Radius is fast, fun and engaging.

Handle: Simple and ergonomic, two slabs of Copper Lightning Strike Carbon Fiber are milled and contoured for a comfortable feel and eye-catching look and are supported by inset stainless steel liners for a durable and ridge construction. Anodized titanium hardware, including a partial back spacer, enhance the high-end feel while an index finger groove offers security in the hand. Integrated into the opening mechanism is a sturdy, simple button lock mechanism for secure use and carry. Includes high quality storage box, microfiber cloth and black leather belt pouch sheath.

Carries via a right hand, tip-up, 3D machined titanium pocket clip.

Bohler M390: Bohler M390 has become an extremely popular choice for high-end user grade knives thanks to its extreme edge retention. M390 also has a good corrosion resistance, meaning most users can avoid problems by simply wiping off their blade after each use. Another great feature of this steel is its ability to resist burr formation during sharpening. Comparable steels are CTS-204P and Duratech 20CV.
