Fox
A handmade liner-lock folding knife built with simple workshop tools.
About this knife
The Fox is Dark Blades Knives’ handmade liner-lock pocket knife, created entirely by hand using simple workshop tools.
Unlike many mass-produced folding knives, the Fox keeps the distinctive handmade character of a Dark Blades knife. The blade is made from 1095 high-carbon steel, while the steel liners and individually shaped Padauk handle give the knife strength, warmth and a unique appearance.
Every Fox is designed and crafted slightly differently, so no two knives will have exactly the same shape, dimensions or handle pattern.
The carefully fitted liner-lock mechanism holds the blade securely in the open position and helps prevent accidental closure during normal use. When folded, the mechanism and handle construction keep the blade safely contained.
With a 9.5 cm blade and a slim 3 mm profile, the Fox offers controlled, precise cutting while remaining compact enough for practical everyday carry.
