BlackFox Nix Orange G10, Black PTFE D2 folding knife by Grigorii Matveev (BF-763 OR)

Nix Orange G10, Black PTFE

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.

PTFE Black - widely used in the coatings industry polytetrafluoroethylene, is an ultra-fine, low molecular weight product processed by a special process. It is characterized by excellent chemical and weather and temperature resistance, thermal stability, non-stickiness, electrical insulation, fire resistance and self-lubrication. Thanks to the use of polytetrafluoroethylene as a blade coating material, friction during use is reduced, thus reducing the need to use force during all kinds of work. Blades covered with PTFE provided by 22% lower average strength and 26% lower maximum force compared to chrome-plated blades.

Head - massive type Drop Point, black coated PTFE. 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 - g10 (pressure-pressed fiberglass with synthetic resin) facings, textured to improve grip security, were 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.
