The Fox Edge brand is part of the Italian company Fox Knives, which was founded in the late 1970s. It still pursues its original intention, namely designing and manufacturing knives for various purposes and different types of customers.
Fox Knives is based in the Italian city of Maniago, known for its centuries-long tradition in the knife-making and metalworking industry. It is one of the key producers of knives both in Italy and worldwide.
The company was founded in 1977 by Oreste Frati, with the original meaning of the acronym Fox being "Frati Oreste eXport." Even back then, Mr. Frati had ambitions to expand his business internationally, which he successfully achieved. Nevertheless, it remains a family business, now led by Oreste's son, Gabriele.
Over the years, the production of Fox Knives has diversified into several brands, including the military division FKMD (Fox Knives Military Division), Black Fox, and Fox Edge. Under this brand, a range of affordable knives is introduced to the market, combining quality craftsmanship with an attractive price.
The target audience of the Fox Edge brand is a wide range of customers, from beginners to experienced enthusiasts, who are looking for a reliable tool, whether for everyday use (EDC), outdoor activities, or tactical purposes.
Just like other knives from Fox Knives, those under the Fox Edge brand are designed by experienced designers and manufactured by specialists. Fox Edge knives often use blade types that offer a good balance between hardness, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The handles feature tried-and-true classics such as aluminum, G10, or stainless steel. The modern and functional design of Fox Edge knives also includes elements like liner lock or framelock mechanisms for secure blade locking and flippers for easy opening.
