BlackFox

BlackFox is an Italian brand of everyday, outdoor, and EDC knives — the value-oriented line from Fox Knives, operating out of Maniago since 1977. The brand combines the heritage of one of Italy's most respected knife manufacturers with a philosophy of accessibility: every BlackFox knife is designed in Maniago, upholds Italian standards of quality and craftsmanship, but comes in at a significantly lower price point than the higher-tier Fox lines. The result is a broad range of pocket, folding, and fixed-blade knives built for everyday carry, outdoor use, bushcraft, and hunting.

Maniago and Fox Knives: 40 Years of Tradition Behind BlackFox

BlackFox didn't emerge from nowhere. Behind it stands Fox Knives, a company founded in 1977 by Oreste Frati in Maniago — a city that has been the center of Italian knifemaking for several centuries. Over the decades, Fox built its reputation as a supplier to special forces, search and rescue, military units, and serious collectors. The BlackFox line is a response to demand from a wider user base: outdoor enthusiasts, airsoft players, trekkers, and anyone who needs a solid, reliable knife for field work or daily carry without paying a premium price. Design in Maniago and production in China through certified manufacturing partners keeps quality under control while bringing down the final cost.

EDC and Pocket Knives

The largest segment of the BlackFox lineup consists of pocket and folding knives for everyday carry. They feature ergonomic designs, proven locking mechanisms (liner lock, back lock, frame lock), and carefully selected blade steels: 440 series stainless and D2, hardened to 55–58 HRC, delivering solid edge retention for daily use. Handles are made from G10, anodized aluminum, wood, and synthetic laminates. Models fit comfortably in a pants pocket or clipped to a pack, ready for anything from opening packages to camp chores.

Outdoor and Bushcraft Fixed-Blade Knives

The BlackFox fixed-blade series is built for fieldwork. Models such as the Vesuvius and other bushcraft knives feature full-tang construction, blade thickness of 4–6 mm, and grinds suited to wood splitting, fire prep, food processing, and general outdoor tasks. Kydex or leather sheaths with Tek-Lok mounting allow carry on a belt or tactical vest.

Rescue and Tactical Knives

BlackFox also produces knives with a tactical and rescue profile: featuring a serrated blade for cutting rope and webbing, a glass breaker in the handle, and a seatbelt cutter. Models finished in red or with high-visibility markings are easy to locate under stress. They are used by paramedics, firefighters, soldiers, and anyone who wants a rescue knife ready to deploy at a moment's notice.
