FOX M1 Black G10/Titanium, Black DLC N690Co Folding Knife (CED-01)
- M1 Black G10/Titanium, Black DLC - premium tactical folding knife, N690C steel head, hybrid titanium and G10 composite handle. Optimized for operational reliability, an EDC tool ready for extreme conditions.
M1 Black G10 / Titanium, Black DLC was designed as a reliable utility tool for environments with increased demands - both in a tactical context and intensive daily use. The FOX brand, known for its solid designs and precision craftsmanship, reached for proven materials and efficient mechanics to create a knife that combines lightweight, rigid and fully operational control. A key element of the design is combination of G10 composite and titanium facings, which translates into ergonomics and load resistance, without adversely affecting the overall weight of the tool. Gböhler N690Co steel catcher, known for its excellent focus retention and high corrosion resistance. Black DLC coating increases abrasion protection, reduces glare and emphasizes the tactical nature of the model. Thanks to double-sided pin the user can quickly and smoothly open the blade with one hand, which is especially important in dynamic situations. Explicit milling on the back (jimping) further improves grip stability and supports precision cutting. Handle designed to lie well in both a bare hand and a gloved hand - surface shaping and design details support full blade control. Clip deep carry allows for discreet and secure portability, while the mounting hole adds customization options. FOX M1 is a knife designed for the user who demands full functionality in all conditions - without compromising on materials, performance or finish.
N690Co - cobalt-rich 1.65% (Co) corrosion-resistant, high-carbon 1.07% (C) martensitic chromium steel 17.30% (Cr) with molybdenum 1.10% (Mo), vanadium 0.10% (V). Developed to provide better wear resistance compared to the original Böhler N690 steel, but with higher cobalt (Co) content in its composition. Features exceptionally high corrosion resistance and long edge retention. One of the best tool steels in the world today. Hardened between 59-61 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.
DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) the durability of the blade's surface is enhanced with a matte black nanocomposite coating, which exhibits unique properties such as exceptional hardness and low friction, as well as excellent corrosion protection. It is one of the most resistant coatings to scratches and abrasion that are used in industry, including the knife industry.
Head - of N690Co steel, finished black DLC coating, was designed for operational and daily tasks that require both durability, precision and corrosion resistance. Blade geometry, based on the traditional profile Clip Point, allows efficient linear, penetration and force cuts - without loss of control. DLC coating (Diamond-Like Carbon) forms a hard protective barrier that protects steel from abrasion and eliminates light reflections. Double-sided stud (thumb stud) allows for quick opening with one hand, and clear jimping on the back supports the user in the precise guidance of the blade, especially in the grip with strong thumb pressure. The head works stably and smoothly thanks to a well-tuned pivot mechanism and a solid locking mechanism.
Handle - is a combination of g10 composite facings i titanium, designed for users who expect durability and high operational comfort. Textured facings increase grip, and the profiling supports hands in both urban and off-road conditions. Titanium structural components improve stiffness while keeping weight low. Precisely fitted details and milling increase ergonomics and give the structure a modern look. Deep carry clip allows for discreet carrying without exposure above the pocket, while the cable hole expands mounting options for additional accessories. It's a handle designed for extreme functionality and tactical expression - oriented towards the user who doesn't accept compromises.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
