About presented NEW SMARTY

N690Co blade

The knife blade is made of N690Co stainless steel and it’s stonewashed. This steel made by Böhler retains good cutting properties and is easy to sharpen. The blade was made in the clip point style and has a flat grind.

Opening and button lock

Opening the knife is done automatically when the button is pressed. Unfolding the knife takes place very freely and smoothly thanks to equipping it with a spring, which after releasing the lock throws the blade forward. The knife has a stable and durable button lock, additionally secured with a slider. It allows you to protect the knife against accidental opening.

Aluminium handle

The handle is made of durable anodized and contoured aluminum. The finger groove improves grip and prevents the hand from slipping to the cutting edge. On one side of the handle, the knife has a button that releases the blade and a safety slider, on the other side there is a clip. At the end of the handle, the manufacturer placed a hole for the paracord.

Pocket clip

A Tip-Up fastening clip located on the back of the knife handle allows you to carry the closed blade with the top upwards. The clip is made of stainless steel.

Pouch

In the set with the knife we get a handy textile case FOX Knives fastened with a zipper, used to carry or store the knife.
