FOX Yaru Green Micarta knife, Stone Washed M398 by Jesper Voxnæs (FX-527LI MOD)

Chilin OD Green Micarta, Stone Washed small, elegant with exceptional ergonomics folder E.D.C., whose shape is derived from traditional Chinese knives Shilin Cutters. Designed according to the modern, minimalist style of Danish knifemaker Jesper Voxnæs. Lightweight, decorated with refined details, a unique combination of style, functionality and reference to tradition.

Shilin Cutters handmade knives by members of the Chiu family. The history of these knives began in 19th century China and a select few were taught to make them. These folders embody old world craftsmanship, knives that are meant to last a lifetime.

M398 Microclean® - martensitic high-performance chromium steel, produced by powder metallurgy. Due to the alloy concept, it has extremely high wear resistance and high corrosion resistance. Due to its high wear resistance, it adequately maintains the shape of the edge, so that the blade remains sharp for a very long time (requires minimal maintenance). Another of the advantages is the resistance to the formation of "wire" during sharpening. High chromium steel 20.0% (Cr) and carbon 2.7% (C) and vanadium 7.2% (V) doped with molybdenum 1.0% (Mo), tungsten 0.7% (W). Designed to provide better durability compared to the M390, launched in 2019. M398 contains more carbon and vanadium, making it a very hard steel 60-62 HRC. Manufactured by Böhler Edelstahl in Kapfenberg, Austria.

Head - wide, type drop point, in the characteristic leaf shape (leaf shaped). Finished with a scratch-masking finish Stonewashed. 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. The thickness of the blade provides high strength while the high, flat grind gives excellent cutting edge geometry and extreme cutting performance. Ball bearings support the opening of the blade by means of an opening accessible from both sides of the wedge. A section of the back of the wedge is covered with a upper jimping, notched thumb rest for easy knife control. The whole thing is locked with the proven and popular locking device liner lock.

Handle - facings made of Micarta (pressure-pressed canvas with synthetic resin) insensitive to weather conditions, resistant to mechanical damage. Chamfered cover edges eliminate sharp edges for comfortable grip. Oxidized gray backspacer ensures rigidity and robustness of the entire structure. Two-position (right/left) lightweight wire clip allows the knife to be carried in the tip-up position tip-up, with the tip of the blade upwards. Above the clip, a hole for threading a safety or decorative cord.
