Whether you’re a casual carrier or a knife enthusiast, at Rigad we appreciate blades that you can comfortably carry and use every single day. That’s exactly what the Italian brand Fox Knives delivers with its ranges Fox Knives, Black Fox, and Fox Edge. The brand combines reasonable pricing with practical materials for everyday carry — from stainless steels like 440 or D2 to durable handles made from G10, aluminum, or wood, often finished in stonewash, satin, or anodized coatings.
On our Rigad YouTube channel, you can watch a short video where our colleague Lukáš introduces Fox Knives. Here in this article, we’ll go deeper: outlining what each product line offers, which materials and finishes are used, and which blade shapes and opening mechanisms (like flippers) are best suited for daily carry.
Our goal is to help you quickly navigate the options and choose a knife that serves as both a reliable tool and an attractive pocket companion. We’ll also recommend a few specific models from our current stock and link to the full range.
Black Fox® – a durable folding knife with a matte black blade and G10 handle, designed for reliable use in the field.
Italy is world-famous not only for fashion and design but also for its centuries-old cutlery tradition. One of its main centers is Maniago, often called the “Italian Solingen.” That’s where Fox Knives was founded in the 1970s by Oreste Frati and his wife Valnea Vittoria Del Mistro. Today, their son Gabriele continues to lead the company alongside his mother and a team of skilled craftsmen.
From the beginning, Fox Knives has blended traditional expertise with modern production. While Maniago has been producing high-quality blades for generations, Fox introduced innovations such as robotic grinding and finishing cells and automated quality-control systems. The result: knives that are precise, reliable, and still affordable.
Fox also collaborates with leading knife designers, constantly experimenting with new shapes and solutions. Its knives are carried not only by enthusiasts worldwide but also by professionals — Fox is an official NATO supplier and produces knives for military and law enforcement. International certifications like ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 14001 (environmental management) underline the brand’s high standards, unusual in the knife industry.
This combination of Italian tradition, advanced production, and strict quality standards has established Fox Knives as one of Europe’s top manufacturers, trusted for both everyday carry and professional use.
The Fox brand now includes four main product lines, each targeting a different audience with distinct price ranges and materials. From affordable everyday users to military professionals, there’s something for everyone.
Each line has its own character and is designed for different uses – from EDC to professional deployment.
Fox Knives are known for their practical designs, balancing daily usability with specialized features. Whether you want a simple pocket folder or a tactical tool, Fox has you covered.
✔ Easy Opening
Many models feature flipper tabs, allowing one-handed opening with ease. Some karambits can even be deployed while being drawn from the pocket, using a special hook-shaped clip.
✔ Karambits and Specialized Blades
Designed for self-defense and tactical roles, karambits feature a curved blade and finger ring for secure handling and quick deployment.
✔ Classic EDC Shapes
For daily use, Fox also offers common blade profiles like drop point, spear point, or tanto — perfect for cutting packaging, small outdoor tasks, or workshop jobs.
✔ Colors and Finishes
Fox Knives often come in multiple handle and blade finishes. Options range from understated black or tan to more striking green or bronze anodization. Blades are available in stonewash, satin, or matte black, each offering its own mix of durability and aesthetics.

✔ Blade Steels
One of Fox’s strengths is its wide variety of materials, allowing users to choose based on function, style, and budget.
✔ Handle Materials
Handles range from durable G10 and micarta to aluminum, brass, modern polymers, and even wood. Each material has its own feel — lightweight and grippy, rugged and functional, or elegant and natural.
✔ Surface Finishes
Blades are treated with finishes such as stonewash (concealing scratches), satin (clean and polished), or black coatings for tactical applications. Some models even feature anodized colors for a more unique look.
This mix of materials makes Fox Knives not only practical tools but also stylish accessories chosen as much for appearance as for performance.
