Fox Suru

[ZTFan]

Blade HQ’s gonna email me when the carbon fiber model is in stock. Just over 2 ounces.

Anyone else trying to get one? What do you think of it based on specs and pics?

 

[unwisefool]

Too small and too light. I feel like I'd break it by squeezing too hard

 

[SpySmasher]

This is the kind of wacky engineering I love. It's the anti-4Max. If the price doesn't make me choke, I'll be in for one.

MSRP is $350

MSRP is $350

What does that mean retail? Approximately?

Love the design in every way. Except that some unsupervised 3-year old apparently got loose in the Fox factory and covered all of them with insane, stupid, absurd, ugly bubbles. Besides that I seriously love it.

Yeah I would like to try one too. I hole the model is successful so we can see more knives with this construction.

That said I wish they woukd have gone with a straighter slimmer handle design like on the sebenza.

Hell yeah I am not a fan of knives that have a bunch of “speed holes” in the handle. All they seem to do to me provide windows for gunk to get in.

~275ish would be my guess-timate.

 

[RBid]

I don’t trust it. It looks like a gunk collector, and I don’t care about weight under 6oz, so the 2oz isn’t a selling point to me.

If the lock works, I think it will be a brilliant move, and will collect awards at Blade West.

I'll check back in 2 years to see how a CF frame lock holds up

Idk, I’m interested to find out. It has a steal lockbar insert. I have never seen carbon fibre in a flexing role like bending over a lockbar.

 

[dirc]

Why no pics on this thread? I also like the design, except of course, the previously mentioned over-hole-iness

Please just offer us a version in cf without any holes?

 

[Bucketz21]

it looks both impressive and innovative, but weight as a main selling point is not something that interests me. in a few years maybe, gonna let someone else pay for it now.

I'm unclear how this knife is better . Another solution looking for a problem or just cool because it's different ?

Here I’ll show you. Check out the lockbar.

 

[SpySmasher]

It's an exercise in:

1) Materials engineering.
2) Lightness.
3) Aesthetics.

Whether that's desirable is up to the individual knife enthusiast, as it always has been.

They are starting to hit the shelves. I have one inbound w/ blue hardware.

When it arrives, post your first impressions!

 

[microbe]

I wonder if there is an over extender in the lock face. Carbon fiber can flex somewhat, but in essence is a brittle material that will shatter instead of bending.

 

[niru]

Yes there is an over extender.
