Originally employed as an everyday carry knife in Southeast Asia, the karambit has become an edged implement known for its utility in self-defense. FOX has updated the knife and brought it into the 21st century with this folder. Curved for precise cuts and fluid transitions between attacks and counters, the blade on the FOX 599 is made of N690Co cobalt-enhanced stainless steel: a material known for its edge retention and corrosion resistance. For easy deployment in close quarters, this model attaches to your pocket with the ambidextrous pocket clip. When a threat arrives, grab the retention ring and quickly unleash the blade by catching the wave-shaped protrusion against your pocket. Shaped for comfortability with a standard or reverse grip, the handle is made from OD green G-10 with a grippy, rugged texture.
