Fox Knives Anzu FX-560 CFOR Black PVD MagnaCut Carbon Fiber 3k by Les George

ANZU, a knife by Fox Knives, inspired by a character from Mesopotamian religions who defied the gods by stealing the Tablet of Destiny from the god Enlil. This act of rebellion made Anzu a symbol of strength, power, precision, and determination, characteristics also embodied in the new Fox Knives blade designed by Les George. Les George ensured maximum ergonomic handle design, and the versatile drop-point blade made from excellent MAGNACUT steel gained incredible durability and excellent corrosion resistance. The VERSO Lock opening mechanism ensures maximum performance, and the dual thumb studs and VERSO lock make one-handed operation easy. The clip allows for convenient carrying of the knife, always ready for use.

The Folding Knife Anzu – Your EDC Pleasure and Durability

Durable and Practical Blade Made of MagnaCut Steel

MagnaCut steel is a modern tool steel characterized by excellent corrosion resistance and exceptional cutting edge durability. It is a steel with excellent utility properties, ideal for applications in knives with high demands.

The blade of the knife is equipped with a drop-point profile with a flat grind. The blade’s design makes it extremely versatile, and the narrowing from the spine towards the blade tip improves its piercing properties. Upper jimping, or notches on the spine of the blade where it meets the handle, provides a place for finger support during cuts requiring pressure or those demanding greater precision and control over the edge.

Smooth One-Handed Opening and Secure Lock

The knife opens using a dual-thumb stud protruding from the blade. Smooth blade deployment is ensured by ceramic ball bearings surrounding it on the knife’s main axis (bearing at the blade-handle junction).

The knife features a stable and robust lock mechanism to prevent unintended closure during use: the Verso Lock. Besides using the thumb stud, opening and closing the blade is achieved by pulling and releasing the lock’s pin and a brisk hand movement. This type of lock is very safe for the user and is particularly favored by enthusiasts who enjoy fluid blade opening and closing mechanisms.

Durable and Stylish Handle Made of Carbon Fiber

The handle scales are made of durable carbon fiber. The scales are mounted on a stainless steel liner construction. The entire structure is joined by an aluminum backspacer. The material of the handle scales is resistant to moisture, temperature changes, most solvents, and acids, and most importantly, it exhibits high resistance to mechanical dama

A stainless steel pocket clip located at the rear of the handle ensures stable carry in a pocket, attachment to a backpack, bag, belt, etc. The clip is mounted in the tip-up position (the blade tip facing upwards when clipped).

A hole in the handle is designed for attaching a lanyard, cord, paracord, strap, leash, etc. This is a simple solution that facilitates removing the knife from the pocket, hanging it around the neck, etc. Of course, it also serves as additional security against loss during carry or use. The opening can also be used to attach decorative items such as beads, pendants, etc. (not included).
