BLACK FOX Steelix BF.717 knife

The BLACK FOX Steelix BF.717 is a tough yet compact all-metal knife. Its relatively thick grind for a pocket knife allows heavy-duty use.

It is a tough knife for everyday use, yet also light, with a flat profile slipping easily into a trouser pocket.

440C steel is a classic offering excellent value for money and balanced performance: good edge retention, fairly easy sharpening and excellent corrosion resistance.

The Framelock system provides solid locking: a metal section of the handle automatically moves behind the blade to hold it in place. Thumb pressure is all it takes to fold the knife.

This knife has a flipper opening system on the blade spine: push with your index finger and add a slight wrist flick for instant opening.

Black Fox is a Fox Group brand specialising in tough, functional, affordable utility and outdoor folding knives, with understated designs and good value for money.
