Knife Made in Italy: Premium Italian Cutlery and Knives
-
Fox - AVES - Italian Army Aviation - FX-AVES12 - Military Knife
The new AVES has been designed especially for pilots as a survival and emergency knife. The extremely massive, spherical ground blade is coated with DLC and comes as close as possible to the concept of "indestructible" with the material thickness of 6 mm across its entire surface. Despite its compact design, this blade and its width have a very high degree of hacking efficiency. This spares the deeply retracted edge of the belt cutter with its lines and also allows it to be used with a fitted Kydex sheath, a benefit not to be underestimated in tight cockpits. In addition, this knife includes a second sheath made of Cordura. It is MOLLE-compatible and can also be worn on the lower leg. The handle end is formed as a lever/screwdriver. A grindstone is located under the G-10 casing. An indestructible tool on which you can completely rely in an emergency.
