Fixed Blade Knives: sturdiness and versatility for every adventure

The Fox FX-654 CR Billao fixed-blade knife represents a contemporary reinterpretation of an iconic historical creation, a tribute to the famous "Billato" model employed by Italian Africa Police (PAI) personnel between the 1930s and 1940s. Fox Knives has put considerable effort into designing and making the Billao knife, keeping the original appeal of the design intact while at the same time taking advantage of the latest discoveries in materials science and current manufacturing technologies to improve its strength, quality and durability.

Japanese steel merges with Italian excellence.

For this new collaboration, between Coltelleria Collini of Busto Arsizio and Fox of Maniago, we chose the Rimor model. Only 9 exclusive pieces of this excellent bushcraft knife produced by Fox of Maniago have been made, using for this edition the Japanese V-Toku2 steel in 5mm Sanmai produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel instead of the Niolox used in the standard model. 

Specifically, the central sheet is the carbonaceous V-Toku2 at 62/63HRC and on the outer cheeks there is the stainless SUS410, so as to ensure not only a beautiful aesthetic effect, but also a very high cutting capacity, penetration and edge retention along with easy resharpening and maintenance. At the same time, the blade has remarkable corrosion resistance and an important increase in resilience given by the type of extreme steel and laminated structure.

Japanese steel blends with Italian excellence

For this 2022 collaboration, between the Collini Cutlery of Busto Arsizio and the Fox of Maniago, we have decided to propose the 103MB Outdoor model designed by Reichart Markus. Only 18 exclusive pieces of this excellent bushcraft knife produced by Fox of Maniago were made, using for this edition the Japanese V-Toku2 steel in Sanmai 5mm produced by the Japanese Takefu Steel instead of the Niolox used in the series model.

Specifically, we used V-Toku2 carbonaceous at 62 / 63HRC for the central plate and SUS410 stainless steel for the two external plates, in order to guarantee, in addition to a beautiful aesthetic effect, a very high cutting capacity, penetration and sealing of the wire together with an ease of re-sharpening and maintenance. At the same time the blade has a remarkable resistance to corrosion and an important increase in resilience given by the type of external steel and by the laminated structure.

As in the ancient Japanese Samurai swords.

The rolled steel - imported into Italy by Collini Steel directly from the Japanese Takefu Steel - is based on the ancient Japanese tradition in the creation of the famous Samurai swords. In fact, as early as 1100 the expert Japanese blacksmiths combined different materials together to give the Katana swords incredible cutting capabilities combined with a resistance and flexibility previously unknown. It is thanks to this revolutionary construction technique that Samurai swords have been preserved to this day, becoming one of the most fascinating objects made by man. Following this tradition applied to modern metallurgy, today we are able to have technologically advanced steels already tested and used in cutlery also by famous brands such as Fallkniven, Cold Steel, Mcusta, Kai, Sog, Zwilling, Rockstead, etc.

Characteristics of San Mai steel: These are different types of metals bonded together to create a composite that encloses and intensifies the strengths of the metals individually taken:

- Longer life of the cutting edge
thanks to the use of very high quality steels with high carbon content (VG10, CoS, Shiro) or sintered (SPG2), in the heart of the sheet (Core Steel), the blade, once hardened, achieves decidedly hardness and cutting performance higher than those achieved with the use of traditional steels.

- Greater resilience
built with the principle of Japanese swords, multilayer steel is difficult to break thanks to the toughness of the central steel (Core Steel) and the elasticity of the steel used for the side facing (Stainless Steel).

- Better corrosion resistance
the steel used for the external layers (Stainless Steel) guarantees the blade a high resistance to corrosion. The combination of the two or more materials used by Takefu Steel generates, at the galvanic level, a structure that improves the corrosion resistance even on the wire.

- Easy processing even after heat treatment
although steel normally becomes harder after hardening, the lateral steel used in multilayer processing does not lose its softness and allows easy processing, drilling or welding even after heat treatment. For an optimal performance of the blade, cryogenic treatment is recommended.

- Improvement of the aesthetic result
The knives made with multi-state steel or damascus pattern at the end of the processing are aesthetically elegant, refined and highly appreciated by collectors all over the world.
