Fox Knives Chnops Tactical Folding Knife – Hybrid Cryo
Description
Fox Knives Chnops Tactical Folding Knife – Hybrid Cryo
The Fox Knives Chnops Tactical gives the original Chnops a more assertive, function-led character. Its bayonet-inspired Hybrid Cryo blade has a stonewashed finish and a hardness of 59–61 HRC, providing a robust profile for controlled everyday and outdoor cutting tasks.
A dual-flipper system enables quick, intuitive manual opening, while the handle and blade geometry help reduce the risk of the hand slipping forward. The textured black G10 scales, liner lock and stonewashed steel clip complete the practical Italian-made design.
