The Black Fox Nidhug looks civilian, but it can cut like a master. The Danish design by Mikkel Wilumsen combines functionality, sharpness and tactical details in a body that suits everyday carrying and tougher work. A knife that stands out – not just because of its orange handle.
Wilumsen's signature is clearly readable: clean lines, tactical elements, and above all, functionality. The Nidhug immediately catches the eye but continues to impress even after weeks of use. It strikes the right balance between a modern EDC piece and a knife that can handle the outdoors.
AISI 440 steel with a hardness of HRC 55–57 is durable yet easy to sharpen. The satin finish reduces friction and gives the blade an elegant shine. The thickness and shape are designed for practical use – no frills, just pure performance.
The G10 material feels good in hand, even when it rains. The material is durable, strong and non-slip. Want to switch the clip to the other side? Sure, it handles both left and right hands with ease. Everything is held together by polished stainless steel screws – because details make the difference.
Black Fox is a brand that originated from the FOX Cutlery workshop – a company that has been making knives since 1977. This line targets those who want quality for a reasonable price. And thanks to collaborations with designers like Wilumsen, each piece boasts a strong character.
