BlackFox Nix Brown Micarta Folding Knife, Acid Stone Washed D2 by Grigorii Matveev (BF-763)

Nix Brown Micarta, Acid Stone Washed

ultralight and compact universal folder EDC project By Grigorii Matveev. Thanks to the excellent ergonomics of the grip and the ratio of the blade to the handle, we get the impression of working with a much larger knife, and its capabilities are surprising compared to its size. It also fits in smaller pockets, an ideal folder for discreet carrying in places where you don't want to attract too much attention.

High Speed D2 - high-carbon, high-chromium high-speed tool steel heat-treated to 58-60 HRC. Thanks to the high content of 13.0% chromium (Cr) offers greater corrosion resistance than most high-carbon steels. Combination of durability, excellent edge holding and easy sharpening. It is characterized by high wear resistance due to the high content of carbides in the microstructure.

Acid Stone Washed - acid etching uses a chemical reaction between the acidic etching solution and the blade steel. The heads were then given a fine scratch-masking finish Stone Washed.

Head - massive satin-finished type Drop Point, finished with scratch-masking Acid Stone Washed. The generous belly extends the length of the cutting edge relative to the length of the blade converging toward the needle-sharp tip of the knife. Thickness of the wedge provides high durability while high, flat grinding gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. The following are responsible for the smooth operation of the blade opening mechanism washers, thanks to which the knife can be opened with a hole in the wedge (thumb hole) ideal for people right and left-handed or by means of front flipper. Half finger choil, index finger undercut between the handle and the cutting edge, and upper jimping notched section of the back of the blade under the thumb allow a safe grip close to the blade, very comfortable for fine and precise work. The whole is locked with the proven and popular locking mechanism liner lock.

Handle - facings made of Micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin), textured to improve grip security, was bolted to a steel knife frames. The whole is stiffened by a solid steel backspacer. Simple, sturdy design provides assurance of many years of use. Twopositional (right/left) metal clip deep carry allows you to carry the knife discreetly in your pocket in the tip-up (blade tip up). A protruding section of the backspacer creates a lanyard hole, hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
