Folding knives and fixed blades
The Core and Saturn offer two distinct folding-knife designs. The VOX-designed Core is a straightforward pocket-knife option for everyday cutting tasks. The Denis Simonutti-designed Saturn has a dagger-like profile and uses Fox’s Radius Lock mechanism. Its button-operated system opens and closes the blade and locks it in position; the product range also includes left-handed configurations. Details such as steel and handle material depend on the specific version, so check each model’s specifications when comparing options.
For a fixed blade, the FX-103 MB uses a 11.5 cm blade made from Niolox steel, with a sand-blasted finish and a black canvas Micarta handle. Its 5 mm blade thickness and full, non-folding construction set it apart from compact folding models. The specified materials identify this configuration only; other Fox knives use different combinations. Micarta is a composite handle material, while Niolox is the blade steel listed for this model.
Company background
Oreste Frati established Fox Cutlery in 1977. The company’s manufacturing history is rooted in Maniago, Italy: a production plant formed in 2008, and Fox and Euroknives merged in 2020 as FOX2 Manufacturing. The company says Fox knives are planned and produced at this plant, alongside knives for other brands. As the catalogue includes different models and configurations, manufacturing details should be checked for the individual knife rather than assumed to be identical across the range.
