A.G. could always be counted on to have anywhere from 3 to 6 knives on his person at any time. He was so well known for this that customers would come into our store and ask what knives he had on him that day. A.G. would pull them all out so he could talk to the customer about what he was carrying. One of the knives he constantly carried was a personal steak knife. He carried his own steak knife because he liked his meat cut, not shredded by those low quality, serrated knives found in restaurants.
These high quality Italian folders are simple, but elegant and are perfect as your own personal steak knife. If you have no need to carry a steak knife, this slim folder serves very well as a general purpose knife. The 3" slim drop point blade is N690Co stainless at 58-60 Rc. The blade is held securely in the open position with a liner-style lock. This is a very slim knife. It can be carried unobtrusively in a shirt or jeans pocket. Measures 3-7⁄8" closed. Weighs about 1.7 oz., depending on the handle material. Made in Maniago, Italy.

Fox Knives
FOX Coltellerie (FOX Cutlery) has been, and remains, an important part of the knife industry in Maniago. Still family owned, the company was established in 1977 by Oreste Frati. A highly qualified staff, CNC equipment of the latest generation a strong use of the newest quality knives possible. Fox knives demonstrate that a particular attention continues to be placed on creativity and design. The knife industry in Europe, as well as Japan, has always centered around one area in each country. In England, it was Sheffield; in Germany, Solingen; in Japan, Seki City; and in Italy it has been Maniago. In the recent past, we have seen a decline in quality knife production in England, Germany, the United States and most recently in Japan. In Sheffield, the industry has been gone for a long time. There are good companies making quality knives remaining in Germany, Japan and the U.S., but they are few. Many have succumbed to the pressure to make cheaper knives which has resulted in the move of a tremendous amount of knife production first to Taiwan and then to China. It is only Maniago, the art of metal working and knifemaking has been in practice since Medieval times.
