Fox Suru

[Petunia D. Feeble]

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.

I like the bubbles. They're funky. I'm all for companies having some fun with design. I don't like the price though. I understand it, but I don't like it.

The bubbles suck and are terrible.

Paid under $200 for mine.

There is a variance in price depending on scales. I think the bubbles look fine myself.

Under $200 for CF scales.

Why a blade so thick (0.16") when the cutting edge is so short (2.125")?

Quick review:
Love the Vox design. Perfect fit and finish on my bronze CF version. M390 blade comes razorsharp and perfectly centered. Really crazy light weight. Buttery smooth action (flipper, spydie flick, thumb). Finally something new in this market.

Anyway it will take some time to trust in the lockbar made in CF.

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?

I am receiving one today in the USA from Lamnia in Italy. $197 shipped and got it in two days. Way faster and way cheaper than BladeHQ!
...and today is my birthday!

Got mine yesterday. Super light. Somewhat concerned of its early lockup. There is no lockbar cutout, so perhaps by design the lockbar travel is substantially less then that Ti lockbar? It's solid, no play & the blade isn't going anywhere w/ it's early lockup. Has a STRONG detent. Makes a great flipper, not so using your thumb & blade hole. No way can I Spydie flick this, the detent is way to strong. In the pocket she goes.

That‘s weird. This is my one after a few days.

It has a really buttery smooth action. Totally love it.

Might just need to break in. How's your lockup, is it fairly early?

 

[niru]

Yes early...but feels totally safe.

Just got mine yesterday, and DAMN that framelock is stiff! Combined with it being pretty small, I almost can't use my thumb to unlock it.

Other than that, pretty good. Great looker,great action, great ergos for such a small knife.

This version of the Suru is just perfect...

Fighting the temptation to nab one. Sooo perfect!

These won‘t be available forever.

Suru in Finnish means saddness, weeping. Just saying and not contributing anything.

 

[BitingSarcasm]

Soooooo.....if the carbon fiber Suru is a limited edition, desired, and expensive (to some of us), does that make it a Holy Grail?

 

[niru]

The cf version is a regular one.

I would say the Vox F9 is the grail.

Had to disassemble and clean this one from the factory lube. Breaking it in completely dry it became sooo smooth. Hard to beat as my favorite knife in 2019.
