Knives, collection knife, tactical knives, outdoor knives, pocket knives and tools

I designed the ATCF in 1986-87 inspired by my experience with military and security personnel in Central America and the United States. 

The ATCF was the first tactical knife to be fully assembled with screws instead of pins and rivets.
I invented the thumb disk to facilitate opening with both hands. This became a widely copied feature of the ATCF and is used on many other knives by manufacturers around the world.

The ATCF was the first pocket knife to use a checkering on the top which, along with the guard, provides protection and a firm grip. 

The ATCF is one of the most copied knife shapes in the knife world, and as I often like to proudly say, "The ATCF is the shape...that shaped the whole industry!"

ANZU is the new knife from Fox Knives inspired by the creature of the Mesopotamian religions; a powerful figure who challenged the authority of the gods by stealing from the god Enlil the Table of Destinies, an object that, when possessed, confers the power to control the Universe. Through this act of rebellion, Anzu became an example of power, strength, precision and determination, characteristics that also distinguish the new Fox Knives knife designed by Les George.

NANO is the latest knife from the hi-tech family, an ideal partner for everyday activities.

The blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel with satin finish equipped with "ReF" (Removable Flipper system) applied on the new minimal lever, Double Crown ball bearing system and Solida titanium clip.

The titanium frame locking bar is reinforced with a hardened steel insert so that the titanium part will not be worn out by the rotation of the blade over time.
The clip, CNC-milled from a single piece of titanium, is reversible so it can be attached on the opposite side for left-handed users.

The removable Flipper system allows the user to decide whether the blade should have the trigger or not, which can be installed as needed or removed and replaced with the second "cap" screw.

lionSTEEL-Emerson ONE is the new SOLID® Karambit knife developed in collaboration with Emerson Design.

The Solid frame-lock handle, already a distinguishing feature of lionSTEEL, is machined from a solid piece of Ergal aluminum, while the blade is made of CPM MagnaCut steel.

Other built-in features make the knife more comfortable and safer to use, allowing the end user to choose how to use it:

* REF (REmovable Flipper system): this feature allows you to choose how to use the knife, if you don't want the flipper you can unscrew it and remove it using the torx tool and insert the second "cap" screw that fits perfectly into the hole at the bottom of the blade.

* Wave: Ernest Emerson's patented system that allows the blade to catch on the pocket of the pants, on extraction, allowing it to open automatically with the right motion.

Intended Use: Sporting/Tactical

Production Type: Industrial
Country of Production: Italy
Blade: CPM MagnaCut 62/63HRC steel
Blade Finish: Chemical Black
Handle: Aluminum, Solid, billet machined
Blade Length: 82mm.
