Fox-7 AUS6 (ABS sheath)
Description
The latest variant of the skeleton knife with a blade resembling a spearhead. The thick blade (4 mm) seems to be excessive for such a short blade. Too much for a knife, but if it were to be a spearhead, it would be just right. The handle, or tang, of the knife is wrapped in string, with the center cut out, which on the one hand reduces its weight and, on the other hand, makes it easier to tie the knife to the shaft. Japanese stainless steel AUS6, analogue of Russian 65x13 and American 440A. Like other knives from the Saro model line, after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, the Foxes underwent a metamorphosis aimed at emphasizing their military character and thus increasing their attractiveness for those mobilized, who purchase some elements of equipment on their own. Previous versions had simple kapron sheaths with a belt loop, currently the Fox-7s are sold with sheaths made of durable ABS with holes on the edges of the sheath allowing them to be sewn (laced with paracord) to backpacks, tactical vests or carrying systems, also in the handle-down position. Sheath suspension compatible with the MOLLE system. The knife has a matte, non-reflective finish. Compared to previous versions, the 2.5 cm ball has disappeared.
